With an auto tune drive, How do you set up the PID settings in Cam Soft to utilize the maximum stability of the servo auto tune feature?
I now have DC motors with 11 inch lbs torque, the gantry weighs about 6,000 lbs and when having to stop in the X axis to make a square cut any speed over 35 inches per minute will overshoot the position and fault out the control. I would like to cut at least 100 IPM on thin metal with a plasma torch. How do you convert DC inch lbs to AC servo KW , so that I get large enough AC servo motors?
Thank You
