Motion Assistant 1.3: position file size

Hi,

 

I use motion assistant 1.3 to control the motion of a home-made CNC machine. I created a 10000 3-D coordinates lines (tab delimited text) to machines 100 micro lines. The program does not accept more than 3000 coordinates lines per each 3-D contour step. Is there any way to apply this position file for one contour step without creating another contour step?

 

 

The created position file is attached

 

Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Hi Optimist251,

 

Trying your moveset in Motion Assistant 2013 I get an error stating that the maximum travel time for the given move has been exceeded. The only way to increase the amount of points is to increase the velocity as this will reduce the travel time of the move. If this is not feasible for your application, you may need to make discrete steps for your CNC machine.
