I watched Tech Marco's video on the new design X-Y and when cutting it was fast, nice to watch... But for engraving I notice that he has set a speed of 1500mm/s
The problem is that the acceloration and deceloration took almost as wide and as long or longer than the engrave itself. So here is my observation,
if because of the speed, there is a significant Accel and Decel, what you end up with is 1500mm/s at the peak but overall the speed is more like 500mm/s and because of the distance that the accel and decel takes, and your workspace is 40% smaller
This is because if it takes 100mm to decel to 0 so the head can reverse direction, that is 100mm to the left of the engraving and 100mm to the right of the engraving so 200mm of the table can't be used at that speed.
That gives you an effective working area of 300mm or less, remember, if the head goes outside the table workable area you get an error
My question is How much longer is this same graphic to engrave at 400mm/s compared to 1500mm/s What is the optimum speed to engrave with this rig?
is it like this: Where after 500mm/s the time benifit is deminished and at 1500mm/s it actually takes longer and more power to engrave the same size object with the same pattern
This is what I see
