Basic SPINDLE Tuning using SERVO GUIDE
5. Tuning of Cs contouring control
5.1. Tuning time constant.
It is necessary to determine maximum spindle speed (rapid feed rate) and to tune time constant properly
at first.
(1) Parameters
Following parameters corresponding are prepared to determine the time constant on rigid tapping.
Parameter No
16i/18i/21i, 0i
Standard
setting
Description
1420 0 Rapid feed rate (degree/min)
1620 0 Linear acc./dec. time constant for rapid feed (ms)
4021 100 Maximum spindle speed on Cs contouring mode*
* Set the value according to following way.
(No.4021) > 1.1 * (No.1420)/360
(2) Tuning procedure
Determine the time constant according to following steps
<1> Determine
rapid feed rate.
<2> Accelerate spindle from stop state (0 min
-1
) to the speed of rapid feed rate at velocity control
mode.
<3> Observe motor speed (SPEED) waveform at acceleration by SERVO GUIDE.
<4> Determine minimum time constant “T
min
” from waveform at acceleration according to following
example.
<5> Set 1.5 times longer value of “T
min
” as time constant for rapid feed rate.
[Example of determining time constant]
T min =80 ms
Time constant:
=T
min*1.5=120ms
SPEED
Tangent to SPEED waveform near
the maximum speed.
