Hello all,
A friend has been generating some gcode via aspire for me.
I had noted that there seemed to be a pause over the area that a tab will be cut deeper down, as the tool moved along a cut.
I had a look at the GCode and aspire is putting in x or y moves that correspond to the tabs even when there is no z move.
For example:
Rectangle cut with 2 tabs along each side on the rectangle (along the X axis)
Tabs 3mm high, 4mm long
Using a 6mm bit
(Unnecessary lines in red)
Is there a setting to avoid this? It's unnecessary code, and does seem to cause a slight tool slow down at these points. (Maybe I just need to fiddle with my Mach3 constant velocity settings?)Code:N470G1X10.125Y10.125Z-9.000F666.0 N480G1X10.125Y145.875Z-9.000F2000.0 N490G1X100.696Y145.875Z-9.000 N500G1X110.446Y145.875Z-9.000 N510G1X636.093Y145.875Z-9.000 N520G1X645.843Y145.875Z-9.000 N530G1X745.875Y145.875Z-9.000 N540G1X745.875Y10.125Z-9.000 N550G1X639.981Y10.125Z-9.000 N560G1X630.231Y10.125Z-9.000 N570G1X114.354Y10.125Z-9.000 N580G1X104.604Y10.125Z-9.000 N590G1X10.125Y10.125Z-9.000 N600G1X10.125Y10.125Z-12.000F666.0 N610G1X10.125Y145.875Z-12.000F2000.0 N620G1X100.696Y145.875Z-12.000 N630G1X100.696Y145.875Z-9.000 N640G1X110.446Y145.875Z-9.000 N650G1X110.446Y145.875Z-12.000F666.0 N660G1X636.093Y145.875Z-12.000F2000.0 N670G1X636.093Y145.875Z-9.000 N680G1X645.843Y145.875Z-9.000 N690G1X645.843Y145.875Z-12.000F666.0 N700G1X745.875Y145.875Z-12.000F2000.0 N710G1X745.875Y10.125Z-12.000 N720G1X639.981Y10.125Z-12.000 N730G1X639.981Y10.125Z-9.000 N740G1X630.231Y10.125Z-9.000 N750G1X630.231Y10.125Z-12.000F666.0 N760G1X114.354Y10.125Z-12.000F2000.0 N770G1X114.354Y10.125Z-9.000 N780G1X104.604Y10.125Z-9.000 N790G1X104.604Y10.125Z-12.000F666.0 N800G1X10.125Y10.125Z-12.000F2000.0 N810G00X10.125Y10.125Z10.000
