The CNC control industry often claims that s-curve velocity (or even
acceleration) profiles reduces the tendency for the machine to wobble as it
accelerates and decelerates around the toolpath contour. We've found other
factors play a more important role, but there may be instances where the jerk
reduction really helps improve the cut. This feature can be controlled through
the params.cfg file, located in your Techno Control Interface installation
directory.
Note that the interface doesn't allow you to set this parameter. If you want
to enable jerk reduction, modify your params.cfg file manually, save the file,
and preprocess your g-code. The parameter is the very last line, labeled Jerk
Reduction. The higher the percentage (valid between 0 and 100), the less the
jerk.
You may want to test it at 0 and 100, to see if you notice a difference in
your own work. Be aware that other factors (such as where you cut on the table,
fixturing considerations, spindle speed, acceleration, etc) may play a larger
role in the actual cut quality than Jerk Reduction. But it shouldn't hurt to
experiment with it. |
