These kinds of experiments have always been interesting to those testing EMC. We do tend to test in air or in sim rather than with a live machine out there. I've often thought of the man overboard key on a boat as making an ideal estop. Connect the cord to one of the body parts that is

Hi i use MESA breakout board to convert 7i33 output. i have 2 of them, i building 8 axis unit. thanks aram Hi all, Finally got around to making mounts for my 7i33 and 7i37 with breakouts. The image is the 7i33 with breakout and Honda MR-20 connectors for the encoders. Maybe someday I'll get

[Emc-users] Very low PRM system.

Hi I want to build system to tool grinder and that means that my system should behave stable on very low RPM. Minimum PRM 0.0001 per minute. I want to use direct drive with ball screw 5 rev per inch or 1 rev for 5 mm in case of metric system. My motors have 8192 pulse per ….. it takes 4x8192 per

Hi all, I got my x-axis servo motor mounted today and ran some tests. There is a video and some hal-scope screen shots here: http://www.anderswallin.net/2008/04/x-axis-test/ This is a system with no motor current, motor voltage, or velocity feedback. An m5i20 generates PWM output for

Re: [Emc-users] Very low PRM system.

2008-04-20 Thread Thomas J Powderly
Aram, I have no answer but a caution... When you move at .0001/min, will a 'step' of .0001 every minute be ok? I'm not talking about stepper motors, I'm saying some analog servo controls will simply force a jerk of .0001 every minute, They will not move in an analog fashion at that rate.

Hi Aram, I'm certainly grateful that this is not my application because I suspect there are a lot of compromises to be made. Assumptions: a. the system doesn't need accuracy in both directions; i.e. is not backlash sensitive b. it really does not have to be direct driven

I got the spindle VFD working on my Shizuoka and the speed varies quite a bit. This seems to be due to interference coming from the spindle motor leads. The cable has no shielding but there are six wires. One for each phase, and three more that seem to connect together at the motor end, but not to
