Top Speed For CMM

Figured I would ask on here before I call up Hexagon and ask for assistance. So This new company I'm working with has bought a brand new off the shelf 7-10-7 global EPS (aka, Brown&Sharpe) top speed parameters shows 300. This thing is slower at top speed then this old Mistral, I used to run. I would think this thing should go a lot faster. At one facility here, I have a 5-7-5 global EPS top speed 500. I would like to believe that this thing should move, so before I go changing any numbers. I would like to know if this is the best this thing can do or is there a setting that can make this thing move. Calling out , , , or anybody else that may know the answer.

  • if 300 is the max (and that machine isn't in the list I posted), try cranking up the ACCL values. Those are what will really give it the speed. If 300 is the max, but you are using the default ACCL values (which I think are 200?) then it takes forever to get up to speed and forever to slow down. As far as I know, if the controller is limited to 300, then 300 is as fast as it will go, even if you tell it 500, but crank that accl value should give you are surprise.
