Basic SPINDLE Tuning using SERVO GUIDE
3. Tuning of Orientation
3.1. Tuning velocity loop gain
Basically, it is not necessary to tune velocity loop gain on orientation mode, but if you want to enhance
rigidity at positioning state you should tune velocity loop gain according to chapter 2.
[Velocity loop gain]
Parameter
No
16i/18i/21i, 0i
Standard setting
value
Description
4042 10 Velocity loop proportional gain on orientation (HIGH) CTH1=0
4043 10 Velocity loop proportional gain on orientation (LOW) CTH1=1
4050 10 Velocity loop integral gain on orientation (HIGH) CTH1=0
4051 10 Velocity loop integral gain on orientation (LOW) CTH1=1
3.2. Tuning position loop gain
Standard settings are usable for most machines, but if you want to shorten orientation time it is
effective to set position loop gain higher.
(1) Parameters
Four parameters are prepared corresponding to clutch/gear signals (CTH1, CTH2).
Parameter
No
16i/18i/21i, 0i
Standard setting value Description
4060 1000 Position gain on orientation (High) CTH1, CTH2=0,0
4061 1000 Position gain on orientation (Medium high) CTH1, CTH2=0,1
4062 1000 Position gain on orientation (Medium low) CTH1, CTH2=1,0
4063 1000 Position gain on orientation (Low) CTH1, CTH2=1,1
(2) Tuning procedure
<1> Rotate spindle about from S500 to S1000.
<2> Input orientation command (ORCM=0Æ1).
<3> Observe position error (ORERR) and orientation sequence data (ORSEQ) at orientation
operation by SERVO GUIDE.
<4> Repeat operation from <1> to <3> after increase the position gain by about 500.
<5> Overshoot of position error will occur at a certain level.
<6> Set the previous value at overshoot occurred as final setting value.
NOTE
Final setting value depends on the torque/inertia ratio.
In a machine in which the inertia varies largely according to the
tool and work-piece used, tuning of position gain must be
performed in the largest inertia state.
