    uccnc not smooth running.

    hello, i have problem with uccnc,

    my cnc tont run smood on wery simple contour.
    https://gyazo.com/e82f5f4b0f9ca09243ae0e169ba07bb4

    On red circle cnc stops very vast and then almost immediately starts moving again.

    what can cause this thing.

    in attachment is also 2 gcodes there are 9 details all of them ar tooing same litle stopp on same place.

    used fusion 360 to generate gcode.

    Re: uccnc not smooth running.

    UCCNC can sometimes have issues with transitions to/from arcs.

    Increasing acceleration or decreasing feedrate can help.
    Using all G1 straight segments can also run smoother and faster sometimes.

    CNC Drive is planning on writing a new Trajectory Planner, and will address this issue then.

    When this planner update arrives any idea?

    I have acceleration on 900mm/s2
    And cuting feedrate 3500mm/s
    Rapids are 10000mm/s

    This is very anoing behavior.

    Probably at least 6-12 months. They haven't started working on yet, that I'm aware of.

    Can you set your accel higher?


    Have you tried increasing the error tolerance settings?

    Set you CAM software to generate lines (G1) instead of arcs (G2/G3) and then all the path will be lines and should be no more problem.

    I agree with Olfcnc - export your dxf from fusion as polylines of a suitable length and this issue will clear up. UCCNC does have a glitch with arc ends occasionally that I have not been able to resolve. Only strategy has been the polylines. Peter

    Re: uccnc not smooth running.

    how I can set it up in fusion 360 ?

    I want to try this one.

    Maybe I can get higher acceleration something 1500 maybe but this is max i think.

    Re: uccnc not smooth running.

    okay thanks, i think I can try this one on weekend.

    anything else i have to change ?

    If I replace arcs with lines is the contour smoothness is affected ?

    Yes if you pick a big line length. I typically use 1mm or 1.5mm for the polyline length. Peter

    Re: uccnc not smooth running.

    Circles should cut just fine with arcs.

    If you used line segments, you'd use about 100 for a hole, not 8.

    You shouldn't see any difference in your finished parts when using G1 moves vs G2/G3 moves.

    it has to wait some time i cant go to where is my cnc about 2 weeks.
    but if to test cutting and comparison I will get back with results.
