Axis Max Feed Rate

[jean]

Good Morning Gentlemen, is their a place weather in the Machine Def, Control Def or post that will regulate the axis max feed rate in X,Y and Z ?

 

Thanks in advance

In the Machine Def

 

General Machine Parameters >> Axis Feed rate limits tab

But that Controls all of them..

the current machine max:

X MAX FEEDRATE = 360

Y MAX FEEDRATE = 600

Z MAX FEEDRATE = 600

Uncheck "Apply to ALL linear axes" checkbox.

Expand your Kinematic Tree of Machine Components.

In your Kinematic Tree, double-click each Linear Axis. This brings up the Properties for each axis. Now that the "apply to ALL" checkbox is disabled, you can set an individual Rapid Rate for each axis.

Now, use the "Control Definition" button, to edit the Control Definition.

On the "Linear" Page, be sure that "Each axis moves at maximum feed rate" is set, for "Rapid Motion".

Save the CD, then save the MD, then be sure to "replace" the MD that is used in your current Mastercam File.

Backplot should now "accurately show" any of the 'dog-leg' rapid motion, with each axis driven at its own independent feed rate.

Colin, this is where I went per your instructions! is this correct?  Man, your a wealth of knowledge , thank you for your time.

Yes, that's correct Jean.

Set the Rapid Traverse Rate for each Axis. So you'd have 600 for Y-and-Z, but only 360 for X...
