Increase A axis speed, but maintain proper scale?

Hello,

I have an Amazon 4th axis that features a 6:1 reduction drive.

I found the thread here where you adjust the SCALE so that a G0 A360 will turn the axis a proper 360°. 

However, the drive spins too slowly. 

I can double the SCALE, which gives me the speed I want, but then I have to do something like G0 A180 for a full turn.

Is there a way I can speed the drive up, while maintaining proper scale?

Joint/axis velocity in the ini file
max_velocity
That will be once on versions prior to 2.8 and twice in joint and axis for versions above 2.8.
Might also need to change the max_angular_velocity in the display section of the ini file.

precious penguins

but actually pathpilot.

I have changed all the max_velocity values in tormach_mill_base.ini with no change in actual 4th axis speed.

I do get speed changes if I change max_velocity in 4th_axis.inc, but it will e-stop and give me a "joint 3" error.

Please advise.

if you increase the joint velocity, you also need to increase the stepgen max velocity
(typically to 25% greater than the corresponding joint velocity).

If you don't do this, the actual position will lag the commanded position and you
will get a joint following error.
