Thanks for all the responses. I now know what the source of the vibration I hear during a G33 can be attributed to. First a correction. I said something yesterday that was incorrect and misleading. The oscillation I was seeing in the velocity waveform (also in the DDT of the position informat

If you have an AC current pickup transformer and a scope around, it is really easy to see what is going on with the motor. Put one motor lead through the transformer, put a burden resistor across the transformer and put the scope across the resistor. This will show you the current flow of the motor

The scope pictures need some accompanying explanation from the original poster. My guess would be that each cycle of the spindle-revs sawtooth is one pass of the G33 cycle. The falling edge of the sawtooth happens when the spindle hits the index before the pass. Axis speed prior to that point is

We were having a problem running a G33 command to do knurling (using a cutting tool, not knurling tool) on the Emco lathe today. It is essentially a very small TPI thread (on the order of 0.68 TPI run with a very slow spindle speed). It turned out that I had the acceleration set too high in th
