I read the manual and everything... it doesn't say max speed at...just max weight and max length... but that you for the input....so if I have a cylinder that is 7.420" dia. and it is 1.740" in length... what would y'all do?
Using the diameter of 7.42" (188.468 mm) then the circumference of each cylinder section is 592.089 mm and assuming the controller is sampling at a rate of 0.02 seconds:
. Setting the point density at 2 points per millimeter the maximum scan speed should be no higher than 25 mm/sec and should return 1184 points for each cross section of the cylinder.
. For 10 points per millimeter the maximum scan speed should be no higher than 5 mm/sec and should return 5921 points.
If you try to scan faster than this the controller will return interpolated data between the hits as the machine is moving faster than the sample rate permits. The interpolated points will be a straight line between the actual measured points which you probably don't want.
Upon some reflection I believe the B3C controllers samples the probe position at intervals of 0.02 seconds (not 0.01 seconds as previously posted). This should be verified regardless.
Your probe won't have any specifications for scanning speed; the scanning speed limits are based on your controller and machine (parameters).
