Hi all,

I have been working on my turret lathe and it is working great, I've made a run of 50 parts and things are looking really good.  One thing I cannot figure out is why when there is a 'N30 G1 X2.6334 Y0. Z0.0884 F70 S1200 M4' the servos "Jump" to position after a short pause.  The axis move at a rate WAY over the max tuned value in motor tuning, and generally fault out.  It is almost like the servos count the steps and wait, then try to move all at once.  I use SprutCam and edited the post to remove the Y0. value and the problem went away.  What is with the Y0. that would do that?  The Y axis is not set up in mach at all, it seems like it should not really do anything.  Also, there is a Y0. in the G2 and G3 moves but that does not seem to mess anything up.  I've attached code snippets and the Sprut post in case anybody is looking for one...  I am OK with just leaving out the Y's, but am interested if there is another problem that this may cause.

Thank you!!

Not seen this but then again I dont usually have Y in my code.
I will try and remember to test tomorrow but in the ean time if you could attach your xml as there may be something weird in it.
Hood

Thanks Hood!!  The XML is attached.

Dustin

Dont see anything amiss from the xml unless its a Brain or ModBUS related although I cant see how.
Hood

Hood,

Here is the brain and the only VB script I've messed with.  I was thinking it could be the ModBus somehow too, like it tries to send signals to Y on modbus or something?  Still cannot figure out why that would make the motors go too fast...

Thanks,
Dustin

Got sidetracked today and forgot to test on the lathe, so just bumping up so I hopefully see it again tomorrow and remember.
Hood

No worries Hood, I've pretty much worked around it with getting those Y's out of there, but am curious.  Thanks for doing this!
Dustin

Just tried with some code having an added Y move in with the X and Z and I dont see any delays or jumps or whatever so looks like its peculiar to your setup for some reason. Maybe remove the tool call and see if it still does it.
