What do you mean by "the problem is back"? It came back because of what?

The spindle control is not syncronous motion, it never was syncronous, because it is controlled by the M3 and M4 and M5 text macros which macros when executed the motion controller must flush all of the motion to finish them and then execute the macro on the PC side and then can continue the g-code execution. This is not a problem for a spindle control, but can be for a laser. But M3, M4 and M5 are not for laser control.
And this can't come back as a problem since it was always like this.

For laser there are the M10/M11 commands which are motion syncronous commands and which executes between the movements without pause.

If there is a decceleration at the end of the motion depends on the trajectory settings, the CV parameters.
For example if the connection angle is set to 89° in the CV parameters, but the connection angle is 90°between the 2 lines then the controller will deccelerate to the connection point.
If the angle is set to 91°with the same example then it will not deccelerate, but will blend the path using the CV parameters which can still mean some sort of decceleration if the feedrate can't be physically kept using the set parameters, but usually is will be then not a full decceleration, how much it will deccelerate and how the path can be followed depends on the actual g-code and the other CV parameters.

Thank you for the explanation, I can understand how, when making a direction change greater then the stop at angle degrees it would need to decelerate and accelerate again. I have tried setting between 89 and 100 degrees and it still decelerates between arcs of what I believe are less then 90 degrees. For example, in the following g-code it slows from 1500mm/m to below 1000mm/m as it processes the code in red below.

this is the area circled in the attached picture

This happens whether I am using the laser commands or the spindle commands. Is this normal? If so how can better maintain a constant velocity?

Thanks,

Randy

Thanks for the example code.
Could you please also post your profile file?
Then I will run some tests to see why is the decceleration happening.

Hello Balazs!
I agree with RJS.
My customers consistently notice about deceleration and acceleration on the joints of the arcs. Independent from profile settings and CV settings.
This issue only on arcs joins and even at small angle degrees between arcs. Arc->Line and Line->Arc joints are fine.
The problem goes away if we set acceleration value more then 5000 mm/sec2. But you understand of course that this is an unrealistic value for the machine.
This issue is very problematic for plasma cutting. Cut quality on this places is bad - we have a biggest kerf width (the dimensions of the part become wrong) and a lot of dross on the bottom side.

What settings do you have for corner error max?

Consider the above thread .... Give it a try and see if it improves things

Note the profile listed earlier has a max corner error setting of 0.03 which means your machine must slow down with a change of direction this will I suspect include arcs in sequence too

There is a detailed post of mine here on 24th October that may be worth a read and consideration too

Robertspark - thanks for the info!

I tried adjusting the settings per your posts and it does reduce the problem some but uccnc is still deaccelerating and accelerating at what seems like each line of code with a arc even when the angle is well uder 89 degrees.
