2.2. Tuning procedure
Follow the steps below to tune the velocity loop gain.
(1) Determining the oscillation limit
Basically, determine the oscillation limit based on torque command, vibration, sound, and so on
when the motor rotates at constant speed lower than the base speed on velocity control mode.
Determin the oscillation limit according to following steps.
<1> Set the parameter No.4083 (In case of low speed winding: No.4136) to 100.
<2> Rotates the spindle motor (in MDI mode) at constant speed lower than the base speed on
velocity control mode (We recommend under 100 min
-1
)
<3> Increase the proportional gain setting corresponding to CTH1 signal (No.4040 or No.4041) in
steps about 5.
For a motor with a high torque/inertia ratio, increase the settings in steps about 2.
<4> As the setting is increased gradually, the symptoms below start to appear at a certain level.
Setting at this level is determined to be oscillation limit:
- The spindle of machine vibrates or makes a large sound.
- Amplitude of torque command vibration becomes large.
<5> Stop the spindle motor and set the parameter No.4083 (or No.4136) to initial value.
NOTE
1. When a motor with a high torque/inertia ratio is used or when
the rigidity of the spindle is not high, the standard setteing may
be so high that oscillation can occur. In such case decrease the
velocity loop gain.
2. The oscillation limit varies with the spindle inertia. In a machine
in which the inertia varies largely according to the tool and work-
piece used, tuning must be performed in the smallest inertia
state.
