It sounds like the VFD is going over current on acceleration. Extend the acceleration time a bit. If this was working in the past and is now giving problems, there may be a problem with the spindle motor.
Hello Everyone. I am currently working on a Wood CNC machine - PROTEC EXCEL 4016TC by the Manufacturer BIESE. The drill (the spindle) is controlled by a servo motor and recently it has been stalling when direct speed commands of +4000rpm are given to it. In order to achieve high speeds +6000rpm or up to 18000 rpm we now bypass the problem by programming a speed progression of 1000-->2000-->3000 and so on till we attain maximum desired speed. Does anyone have an idea why the servo would start stalling when a direct command is given to it?
PS- The controls are achieved Yaskawa equipment
Thanks

Is the servo motor a direct drive, or through a Gear-Box, if a Gear-Box check the Gear-Box has the right oil and is free to turn

Thanks all for your valuable answers. As troubleshooting steps,
1 - Asked the operatoer to start the machine at a high speed. Noticed an "overtorque" message on the drive ( the drive is a Yaskawa CIMR-G5C4011)
2 - I inhibited the overtorque setting/alarm then asked the operator to start the motor at a high speed. The spindle turned without any problem. At a second start attempt it stalled. Third attempt it stalled. fourth attempt it started without stalling, but there was no error message on the drive.
3 - I also observed that, when a command of say 6000rpm is given to it, the G meter indicates vibrations of 10-12g and it stalls. When the same speed is attained by programming accelerations of 1000rpm to 2000rpm to 3000 rpm right up to 6000rpm, the vibrations do not exceed 5g.
Concerning the spindle motor, I also feel it is probably faulty as most of you suggested so i am planning to check it's bearings probably. Not sure if the encoder would have taken a hit too.
