Laguna CNBC feed too slow

[Anonymous]

I created a tool path output as mmg with a feed of 200 ipm. which is what’s needed and when I run it on the swift 4x4 laguna CNC  it goes about 1 ipm? I am new and this is my first time with this software on this machine.

it works great with Vectric? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Can you attach the model that has this problem use the part of the forum shown in the pick to reply?

To attach a file Go to File -> Export and save as a .F3D Archive File and attach it to your next post, if you can not post the file you can PM it to me or say in your next post you can not post the file and one of the Guys that do NDA work will help.

Thank you I saved the file but I don't see where I can attach a link.  how do I attach a file to this reply?

I found it . Here is the file that is running slow. I think there may be an inch to mm problem in the g code but I dont know anything about g code yet. When I save as Laguna it gives me 2 choices prg or mmg, I use mmg for sure, I called laguna to be sure.

Thanks Carl

Does your machine support inch dimensions and feedrates, or does it need to see everything in metric?

Looking at your code, it's clearly posting out F180. and F200. feedrate:

N27 G00 Z-0.0774

I am in the process of finding out now. Another question in the meantime. Is there a way to turn off autotool changer,

I do not have one and I am not sure of this new behavior. When I press run program on my handheld controller the machine with vetric aspire would just go to where I set the xyz and start machining. Now with 360 after setting xyz zero when I press go the machine it goes to full home then stops and says some tool message like change tool etc. There are 3 choices. I cant remember which one I pressed and then the head went to xy zero with the bit spinning and stayed there until I pressed some more buttons on the controller. Sorry I'm not there now to give you exact names but you get the idea. Then the head would proceed with the milling but at this super slow speed of travel. I dont see any way to turn off auto changer in my laguna mmg post?

I made some progress. I checked with  Laguna and the swift 4x4 does only work in mm for travel speed. I learned to go into the feed speed and put the formula in that box when making the toolpath.  I wanted 200 ipm so I put 200*25    ie 200 ipm because I am set to inches and x 25 mm per inch so it automatically populated with 5300 ipm.
