Inside Machines: More answers regarding servo system tuning follow the April 15 webcast on force control as it relates to tuning servo systems.
By: Joseph Profeta
Learning Objectives
- How to tune servo systems: Force control, Part 4 webcast offers more answers to listener questions.
- Tuning answers cover servo stability, sensors, compensation.
- Temperature can affect precision motion control.
Tuning the servo system to performance specifications can be among the most troubling tasks in machine building. It’s not always about what three numbers should go into the proportional-integrated-derivative (PID) controller. In an April 15 webcast, “How to Tune Servo Systems: Force Control (Part 4),” Joseph Profeta, Ph.D., director, Control Systems Group, Aerotech, covered how to tune the force loop tools to meet system specifications and create an arbitrary force trajectory, limitations of a force loop around the position loop and current loop, how to command arbitrary force trajectories, and how to minimize bump.
