i was reading the step/servo thread ... this is related but OT clear me up on in this... about very slow motion with steppers and servos
assuming the minimum position change is .001mm ( commanded step or feedback unit so: a single step moves .001" and any feedback has .001 resolution ) when the system gets a command to move another .001mm, what happens when the velocity requested is .001mm per second? in a stepper system, does it go clunk and wait 999millisecss? (or wait 999 then go clunk, or at 500mSec etc.)? in a servo system does it crawl towards the destination over the whole second? do we see important differences if the velocity is reduced by say 10? or increased by 10? ( is the motion jerky? and does motion stay jerky till velocity and the machine frame dampen it) i think any sudden jerks are bad for machining and process control. any of the above? thx TomP tjtr33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
