If confined to a single axis move,there should be none. Unless the accel and decel ramps should differ between the two move types? - Original Message - From: "Neil Baylis" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2010 20:28 Subject: Re: [Emc

I made a short video of progress in tuning my Linear Motor axis. This is going to be the Y axis of a laser machine. In the video, it's doing a series of random rapids at 30 inches per second, or 1800 IPM. During these rapids, the FE is less than 0.05 inches. I'm not done with the tuning yet, but th
