Hi Curt,

To modify the speed of the first PTP motion, you need to "Right-click" the generated program -> "Show instruction" -> Find the first "SetSpeed" (it should be before the first MoveJ) -> "Right-click" -> "Edit" -> check "set joint speed" and enter a value.



Then the speed of the approach and retract movement are set by the "Fast move speed" you can find under "Program events" of the settings window.

The speed of the program itself is baked into the code by DXF2Gcode.
Therefore you need to modify the DXF2Gcode parameters to set that up.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for your well received response.

Just to confirm, the move which is the biggest concern is the move to PATH START. This is the move when the tool moves to the first cutting position. Is this the move which will be affected when setting "Fast move speed" under Program Events? in other words, is this move called the "approach" move? I was under the impression that the Approach move is the move after the tool reached the first cutting position and then starts to move into the workpiece? We have noticed that when the cutting position is reached the speeds entered on DXF2Gcode takes over, which is perfect.

However, even though it is possible to change the speeds at set-speed when right-clicking the program and also the "Fast Move Speed" for approach and retract at program events it will not be convenient for us. The reason is that we have up to 10 or more different programs which are then run by a "Main" program which means that we have to right all 10 right-click all 10 sub-programs to change "setspeed" and we also have to change the approach speed at programs events for each of the 10 sub-programs. We have 8-12 such Main programs to run per day to cut 8-12 different slabs of granite per day.

This is very time consuming and very easy to miss something and make a mistake. Is there not a place where we could set the DEFAULT "Fast Move Speed" and DEFAULT "Set joint speed" in RoboDk? These 2 speeds will be the same for all our programs.

Hi Jeremy

Under Tools => Options there are tickboxes for :

- Fast approach/retract
- Include a normal approach/retract by default

Both of these are ticked for my station. How does this affect my speed issues?

sorry, the path is Tools => Options => CAM

There is also "Default Operation Speed (mm/s)" set to 30 in my station. What speed does this affect? I assume that DXF2Gcode speed settings override this sepped setting?
