Speeds
The Speeds setup screen is where you set the machine speeds for the operating modes.
The CNC is capable of operating over a wide range of speeds, depending on the drives,
motors, gearboxes and mechanics of the system.
Speed 0 To
Specifies speed ranges and customizes the acceleration rates for these speeds. When a
speed range that is lower than the maximum speed is entered, a new range at the
maximum machine speed setting is created. You can set a maximum of 5 speed ranges.
To reduce the number of Speed To ranges, enter the maximum speed in the highest range
and the additional range fields will be removed from the screen.
Acceleration Rate
Determine both the acceleration and deceleration rate for all motion.
All mechanical systems have different acceleration and deceleration rates to move the
cutting device smoothly. The higher the acceleration rate, the quicker the machine will
get up to speed. The lower the acceleration rate the smoother the machine will position
the cutting device.
