[closed] FreeCAD path, strange movement in Z axis

If you look at the DRO in the video you can see that right after the first G1 command the DRO goes to -0.1 But the spindle itself didn't move at all in the Z direction, it is physicaly still at 5 (in this case, I changed the gcode file a little).


Right, this sounds like hardware / config.

It seem that the Z axis might be stalling. Try reducing the MAXACCEL value for Z. Initially by a lot, ie divide by 10. Just to see if that makes a difference.

These are the values now. Not sure how low acceleration should go
[AXIS_Z]
MIN_LIMIT = -200
#0
MAX_LIMIT = 0.01
#541
MAX_VELOCITY = 15
MAX_ACCELERATION = 20

[JOINT_3]
MIN_LIMIT = -200
#0
MAX_LIMIT = 0.01
#541
HOME = 0
#POSITIE NA HOMING
HOME_OFFSET = 0
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = -17
HOME_LATCH_VEL = 2.5
HOME_SEQUENCE = 1
HOME_USE_INDEX = false
HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = false

MAX_VELOCITY = 18
MAX_ACCELERATION = 25
TYPE = LINEAR
SCALE = -400
STEPGEN_MAX_VEL = 18.0
STEPGEN_MAX_ACC = 28.0
#FERROR = 0.0051
MIN_FERROR = 0.0025
DIRSETUP = 100000
DIRHOLD = 100000
STEPLEN = 22000
STEPSPACE = 22000
DEADBAND = 0
P = 1000
I = 0
D = 0
FF0 = 0
FF1 = 1
FF2 = 0.00013
BIAS = 0
MAX_OUTPUT = 0
MAX_ERROR = 0.0127

It's odd that your limits are different for joint and axis, if this is a cartesian machine. But it isn't likely to be the problem.

Your acceleration is already rather low. Acceleration of 10/s * velocity is more common.

So, try reducing the max velocity instead.

Also, listen very carefully. Can you hear the Z axis stall?

Can you definitely jog down to -0.1?

It was the G43 command.

Somehow there is something wrong there. Maybe it is one of the gmoccapy settings.

Thanks for all your help, it was quitte an experience.

Please note, that gmoccapy takes care of its own to update the offsets,
sending an G43 after any tool change, but not in auto mode!

That doesn't make sense.

If you have a G43 between the two Z moves, and the tool length in the table is exactly the right value, then you might see no Z movement.

But if there is a G43 and _then_ two Z moves, the Z should move.

The G43 was early on in the program, before the G1 moves.

I removed the G43 from the program and everything works as expected.
Will try to find out what is going wrong. But it does like G43 is the guilty command here. The z-axis would move in LinuxCNC's idea but it was just the offset that was stored in G43 (and that kinda works out with the numbers, G43 offset was 21.43 mm and that was about the amount of space that the bit was positioned above the spoilboard). The tool gets measured with a toolheight sensor every time I run the program and gmoccapy stores the offset in the LinuxCNC tooltable.

Break the problem into pieces without red herrings?
G17 G54 G40 G49 G80 G90
G21
G54 
M5
M6 T1 
G43 H1 
M3 S8123 
G0 Z6.000 
(G01 Z-0.1 F900)
M02
So running the above code stops the tool 6mm above G54 Z0 ?
But rerunning with the brackets on the 2nd last line doesn't stop the tool at -0.1mm ?
ooops meant to say without the brackets

Exactly, that is what is happening.
G17 G54 G40 G49 G80 G90
G21
G54 
M5
M6 T1 
G43 H1 
M3 S8123 
M7
G0 Z6.000 
G0 X-0.100 Y536.751 
G0 Z4.000
=====> Z physicaly goes to 4 as it should
G1 X-0.100 Y536.751 Z-0.100 F900.000 
Z should now be physically -0.1 and under the surface of the spoilboard, but it is still physically 4 as was set by the G0 command. The DRO changed though, it displays now -0.1
G1 X5.249 Y542.100 Z-0.100 F900.000 

As I said before, when I remove the G43 command all works as expected.

Can we see what you've got in your tooltable?

cat tool.tbl
T0   P0   ;
T1   P0   Z+41.690621 ;flat003

That was after removing the *.var files and setting G54 to new corner and starting LinuixCNC. After running the first program gmoccapy added the toollength offset as seen above.
