Hi I'm doing some scallop routines in mastercam which output the following moves

mach 3 runs this really jerky always accelerating and decelerating even in constant velocity, is there a way to fix this, or is there another controller software i should look at?

Thanks

If you have backlash compensation turned on, those moves will be very jerky.

I have the same problem. it is accel- and decelaraiting like it is not supposed to. I have tried in different forum but no luck / help.

I found out to check:
- check constant velocity
- shuttle accel 0.001
- backlash not enabled

I was thinking if it had anything to do with my second matter: the machine axis can not be zerod by pressing the button. only by autozero!

I hope to get some help because other than that it is a great prog.

There are a few things that affect CV.

- CV button (make sure your program isn't turning CV off by accident G61/64)
- shuttle accel (if you have steppers then this needs to be reasonable, if servos then I set it to 0) only affects things when backlash is enabled.
- backlash (this can be enabled, but you need to set the speed higher than your feedrate for it to work smoothly) If you have steppers then this can cause lost steps. For servos set it at 100% at fly!!
- All the other settings for CV should be off, and the lookahead needs to be set very high. Art recommends 200 or so.
-Set the Kernal speed to as low as possible. I have problems at 100Khz, but if you only need 25Khz, then set it there. The program will be much more responsive/smoother.

"Jerky Movement"

By seeing the thread name, the first impression in mind was a new Film Release with the name "JERKY MOVEMENT"
