I inherited the motors so I'm not sure, and the manual does not states. The motor has a resolver, and the driver is able to make position control, so I though that it uses sinusoidal or vector control. I was thinking my problems where more related t the quality of the drive, but, I'm thinking now that the drive can also play a role in the observed vibrations. > Here is a comparison (using EMC2 and a Mesa 7i39), Needs sound. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47y6RgAK--8 > Very interesting, I have to listen to it to feel the difference, but certainly it's noticeable. The noise have some resemblances with the one that I have. In any case, even if sinusoidal control helps a lot, there is still some noise, so may be your drives have also torque rippling and/or cogging. A interesting observation is that the noise in both cases is different when going down and up. I'm having also the same behavior. I think that it can be related to friction in th screws, the dry contribution, should be bigger when going up, and it can induce nonlinear limit cycles.
