    rapid c axis movement slow

    I have a Citizen M32. I am trying to "shave" an ID detial. Basical it is a 21.7mm square with corner radii. except the radii are a full diameter of 23.2mm. when i go to do full rapid "H" value increments, the machine does no go rapid. it is very slow. Below is a portion of the cycle. whole program to big to reasonably post. thoughts?

    I don't see a "G0" in your sample of code. Is it in the part that is missing? If not then you are feeding.

    are you doing milling interpolation? it is my understanding that when you are milling and are using the "C" axis in your moves that the "C" axis takes over on feedrates. your feeds will be in degrees per minute. i saw no "G0" in your codes so i assume your feeding. your feedrates will be like "F1000.0" as in 1000 degrees per minute.

    C-axis Feed

    Gilla is correct. When your feeding the C-axis you need to covert the Feed rate to Degrees per minute which is very high compared to inches per minute. Just remember if your tool path returns to a move that does not include the C axis rotation, you need to reoutput the feed per minute.

    I think you should use M19 command before indexing then you have to make c axis to Zero then go for your desired orientation. Try it .

    I m confuse bet M90 or M19. try both
