2 – Machine Setup

With a higher peak acceleration, S-curve allows the table to achieve the desired cut speed, with no jerk, in the same
amount of time as trapezoidal motion.

S-curve setup

S-curve acceleration is enabled with a single parameter on the Machine Setups > Speeds setup screen.

The Acceleration Rate parameter determines the average rate of acceleration for both S-curve and trapezoidal motion.
When you choose S-curve, a new parameter, Peak S Curve Acceleration, displays on the screen. This parameter is for
information only, and displays the maximum acceleration used during the beginning of a cut and represents a rate of
acceleration that is 50% greater than the average rate of acceleration.

Caution!

To prevent machine damage:

If the existing trapezoidal acceleration parameter value is set to the maximum
acceleration capability of the cutting table, reduce this acceleration parameter by 50%
before enabling the S-curve feature
