High acceleration rates with ballscrews, X3 mill.

[Kingjamez]

I'm using servos on my cncfusion X3 mill with ballscrews. I have tons of power and can get crazy acceleration rates such that the mill acts like it hits a brick wall when it stops. The sheer inertia of the table stopping after a 120IPM rapid seems like it would damage the ball nuts and ballscrew. It's great for 3D and constant velocity machining, but I don't want to wear the machine too quickly. Is th is something I should worry about?

you can adjust your acceleration so that the motor will slow before coming to a dead hault.

Thanks for the suggestion. I know I can turn down the acceleration, but then 3D machining will be slower and CV mode will be less accurate. I want to run as fast as possible without damaging the screws. I just don't know if I'm potentially damaging the screws.

Edit, I like your icon, I'm building a collection of those right now out of stainless, just got permission to do so.
