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.

  • Ok folks, I did call Hex, based off of the motor on this particular machine and controller. Top speed for it is 300. I did attempt putting larger speed numbers in there. And this machine would just error out not move at all. did try the absolute speed, ran no different then 100%. So I can continue to do it the correct way and run it in %. Rolling eyes
  • bad example, car has several gears, RPM gauge shows you when to shift into the next gear. Notice the RPM gauge shows you about 90% safe and 10% redline. Since a CMM only has 1 gear. I keep it about there so my motor don't Redline Wink so if I'm driving a car 4cylinder or big ol V8. That only had one gear. I would keep it right under the redline on my RPM Gauge. Wouldn't want my motor to blow up, just because I wanted to do 55 MPH
