Rapid with PCNC 1100 and 770

[concombrefrais]

A quick question for Tormach owners. What machine do you have and what rapid/acceleration can you get with?
Thanks in advance?

[bevinp]

Do you mean what rapid speed or do you mean acceleration?

[concombrefrais]

I mean both.

[Don Clement]

Why do you ask on this forum? Tormach.com has those answers.

[concombrefrais]

I know the advertised speed 90ipm for the 1100 and 130 for the 770.
I just want to know what speed you actually get. Can you get more? Or can you not even get the advertised speed? For example the Novakon 145 advertised 130ipm but some owner said on this forum they can get 300ipm.
Syil advertised 200ipm for their x5 but I read owners saying they have to slow it down to 100ipm to prevent losing steps.
I am wondering what are the actual numbers for the Tormach, and of course with stock drive and steppers.

Why do you own a Tormach? If so why don't you tell us?

I imagine he's a potential customer like me.

I hope someone without a chip on their shoulder will answer, I'd like to know too.

Yeah I do have chips on my shoulder from making parts with my Tormach. Where does your chip come from? I can only speak from my experience: Never lost any steps using my Tormach running at the recommended maximum rapids with my 1100.

Knowing what I know about Tormach, their machines will very comfortably run the advertised speeds.... Historically they rate their machines conservatively.

You will also void the warranty if you change any of the operational parameters (Tormach uses a locked-down custom version of Mach3).

Not sure why the drama Don Clement, I am just asking a simple question to people who have answers to share.

Thank you Randy, David and also Barack. Yes I am a potential customer. I am curious now, how does Tormach knows that you change the configuration? Do they provide a modified version of Mach which is somehow blocked? And even then, can't you use the regular Mach 3?

Thank you all for in advance your input,
Christian

For example the Novakon 145 advertised 130ipm but some owner said on this forum they can get 300ipm.

Where on this Tormach forum was that stated?
