That's also why I have home offset programmed, but ie. if I jog thoward limit with 3000mm/min and "hit" it, what will happen? machine will immediately stop (like hitting e-stop) and pop out message. I think stopping machine with "e-stop" like is not very "healthy" for machine at higher speeds (mechanical reasons), so that is the reason why I think deceleration would be better... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
