I program for six different Okuma mills with osp200 and osp300 controls. When running high efficient milling paths the machines cannot keep up with a constant say 100 ipm feed. It will achieve those speeds in the field but slows when converting from reposition feed to cut feed. Also when the circles get tight say .5" - .25" rad it slows here also to say 40 ipm. It was worse until I learned about g131 j2 hi pro or nurbs. That did help but still not what a modern machine should do in my opinion. I understand acceleration from stop to go but this seems different to me. I saw this vid on youtube of similar machine keeping high feeds even in tight rads so there must be something I am not doing correctly. I program with Mastercam 2020 and post g01 g02/g03 code. Would only g01 improve?
