Re: Rough Motion on Circular Toolpaths

Not sure if this changes anything, but I learned that these are not servos, they are “hybrid steppers/servos”, which is just a stepper with an encoder.

Re: Rough Motion on Circular Toolpaths

Update: Adjusting the above parameters did not seem to help. Did another troubleshoot session. Smooth motion by hand with gear connected, but not motor (no Vibration): https://photos.app.goo.gl/11kaUWE1i4yTaY519 Belt disconnected, rotating motor (small vibration only at certain feed rate): https://p...

Uwe

Here’s the manual. Not finding the same terms you have mentioned in the adjustable parameters. Mind taking a look?

Re: Rough Motion on Circular Toolpaths

Open the oscilloscope function of your servo. Measure the frequency of the ossilation. And use the built in notch filter to remove that oscillation. At least, that is how it works wirh delta servos. All indications, to me are servo tuning related. Leadshine does not seem to have a notch filter opti...

Re: Rough Motion on Circular Toolpaths

Update. I disconnected the rack and pinion drive gear to test the linear rail movement. Super solid and smooth. Then removed the servo/belt/pulley/gear assembly and tested in isolation: Vibration. Then disconnected the servo motor completely to test it in isolation. And the servo is the culprit! The...

Re: Rough Motion on Circular Toolpaths

May have found something. I get a bunch of vibration at certain low feedrates (<80 ipm) in the X axis. the chatter marks on my parts line up to where the x axis is at slow speeds for the circle. So yeah seems it is not a centroid issue. Keith, do you think this is due to the gearing? Anyone dealt wi...

Re: Rough Motion on Circular Toolpaths

Happen to be running servos? I have had issues before when using a gantry and servos that when you have a machine which is not very stiff, thus servos cant be really tuned to be very dynamic. Then when you do quick circles, it does not go as smooth as you would have hoped. But all aims at mechanics...
