 Anyone got any tips for tuning servo motors? | |
I haven't actually used the tuning part yet but in the next couple of weeks I'm going to put a couple of Allen Bradley servo motors and drives on to our 6 axis machine.
I would just like to understand the procedure before I tackle it.
Because it's a tuning function, does this mean it actually changes settings inside the drive to run the motor more efiicently or does it just change the output signals?
Because the machine runs steppers (very slow I might add) I'm a bit worried I'll need to put a gearbox on the end of the motors to compensate for the difference needed (but I'll work that out later).
One of these motors (MPL-A330P-HK22AA) I've got says a maximum RPM of 5000, can these run quite stable at a low speeds e.g 250 - 500rpm (I'm only guessing until I remove the old stepper motor) or should I really alter the ratio to allow the servo to run near it's maximum rpm when running flat out? |
