> Also bear in mind that speed x acceleration x mass = power That is actually informative here. It shows that after you have guessed and bought some motor that has some given power like say 1/2 HP or 400W or whatever, the power is now fixed. Also, the mass of the table is fixed.
So by the above equation, you see that the product of speed and acceleration is fixed (for you machine or motor) but you can trade speed for acceleration by changing the gear ratio or lead screw pitch. You can choose to go twice as fast if you accept 1/2 the acceleration. Or vice versa. So if you like for acceleration to be 3X speed there is some gear ratio or screw pitch the will do just that. But so far we are only talking about jogs and ignoring cutting force -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
