A little OT at work, and I'm contemplating a smooth stepper. I don't use backlash comp, nor do I plan to. I had issues losing steps until I engaged sherline mode, and dropped my accel and velocity. It would be nice to gain a little bit back, my theory is that the steppers and G540 are up to the task of going faster, but the computer is struggling with the pulse rate.
Anybody run a G540 with a Smoothstepper? What kind/size machine? Did you run without it and then upgrade, and if so what differences do you notice?
Thanks for any help folks can provide,
