Mfrost: /* Servo Part Numbers */

A servo motor is usually comprised of the drive section and the encoder. A servo motor is much smoother in motion than a comparable [[stepper motor]], and will have a much higher resolution for position control. While the servo family is further divided into AC and DC types, most all the servos we use are brushed DC.

On the servo's shaft are magnets, attached at specific locations. Sequences and combinations of magnetic fields generated within the motor drive the magnets and give precise control over the shaft's rotation. Also on the servo’s shaft is a glass disc with very fine lines on it. The optical encoder counts those lines as it rotates with the motor, the information is fed back to the controller, and through a host of feedback loops and logic circuits, produces the desired motion.

== Limit/Home Switches ==

A '''Limit switch''', also known as '''Home switch''', is a normally closed switch. This means that the switch, under ordinary circumstances, is closed and allowing current to flow and the servos to move. When a servo travels in such a manner so that it contacts the switch, the switch opens and current to the servo is cut off, stopping the servo.

Colombo, HSD, Kress, and Porter-Cable. We use primarily Colombo and HSD spindles. Kress and Porter-Cable spindles are basically just souped-up Dremels.

Important factors for replacing a spindle are: HP, Voltage, Amperage, and RPMs found on the nameplate (see fig 2). As there may be multiple specs on a nameplate, '''a PICTURE is usually the best way to determine the right motor'''.

Inverter

2010-10-14T13:25:40Z

Mfrost: /* Inverter Basics */

'''Inverters'''
:An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). It may be single phase or 3 phase, and powers the machine’s systems and motors. It is so named because early mechanical AC to DC converters were modified and made to work in reverse, and thus were "inverted", to convert DC to AC.

== Inverter Basics ==

Inverters usually need to be '''programmed''' with values obtained from the '''name plate on the spindle''' (get pic) of the machine into which the inverter is to be installed.

Shown here are 2 inverters, an Altivar 31 (note that it says "Altivar 31" below the blue Telemechanique Logo).
The second inverter is a Teco FM100, which we no longer use though you may still encounter these.
Important considerations in replacing inverters are:
* Phase (single phase or 3 phase?)
* ATC (does machine have an automatic tool changer?)
* Horsepower
* Voltage
* Amperage

[[File:Altivar31.jpg]]

[[File:Inverter_wiring.jpg]]

To test spindle, short the screws marked " ''' +24V ''' " and " '''LI1''' " , the '''small''' red and black wires above

To '''change the direction of spindle rotation''', swap any 2 of the large Red, Black, or White wires at lower left EXCLUDING GREEN, i.e. swap red & black, or, red and white, or black & white

[[File:12_2tecoinvert.jpg]]

In some setups, the Inverter may be located somewhere other than on the machine, such as on a wall, as in this case:
[[File:Inverter_wall.jpg]]

=== Part Numbers for Telemechanique Altivar 31 ===

Electronics Part Number
*05 HP/230v = H24Z40-IV5HP230V
*10 HP/230v = H24Z40-IV10HP230
*15 HP/230v = H24Z40-IV15HP230

* 05 HP Inverter Conduit Box = H24M10-VW3A31815
* 10 HP Inverter Conduit Box = H24M10-VW3A31816

== Programming Inverters ==

=== Required Tools ===
* Serial-to-RJ45 cable
* PowerSuite application
* Power leads

=== Quick Method ===
# Connect ''' serial-to-RJ45 ''' cable
# Start ''' PowerSuite '''
# Click " '''''i''''' " button
## My Configurations
### Altivar Drives
#### ATV31
# Find your inverter on the list
## Right-click + Download
## Alt-F at warning
## Click OK

If that method failed, try the longer method.

=== Alternate (Long) method ===
# Follow above steps
# (highlight)My Device
# Click "Connect the Device" button on toolbar
## Ingnore warning
# Explorer menu:
## Motor Control
### Motor Characteristics
### Input values from Spindle plaque
## Adjustments
### Accel / Decel
#### Accel should be ''' 2 ''' or more. this is the acceleration rate.
#### Decel should be ''' 0.5 ''' This is set to a very low value because adaptive deceleration is used. You may try increasing the value of this. I would probably not use a value greater than 3.0. The larger the value, the longer it will take for the spindle to stop.
####SdC = 0.5
####brA = Yes
### Frequency range
#### TFR (first)
#### HSP = 300 - This is the maximum frequency.
#### LSP = 100
#### ITH = set this to the current on the nameplate
### Thermal Protection - use Amperage value from spindle plaque
### Optimization
#### Set voltage boost = ''' 0 '''
#### UFT = Constant
## Application Functions
### Preset speed values
#### SP2
##### 100
##### 133
##### 166 etc.

=== Programming thru Inverter Funtion Buttons ===

The Inverter's programming can be adjusted by the user via the function buttons on the inverter itself. Please contact Technical Support for help with these functionalities.

::from drC menu :
::::'''tFr''' - 300 set this BEFORE setting HSP and LSP.
::From the set menu:
::::'''ACC''' - this may be set between 0.5 and 3 this is the acceleration rate.
::::'''DEC 0.5''' - This is set to a very low value because adaptive deceleration is used. You may try increasing the value of this. I would probably not use a value greater than 3.0. The larger the value, the longer it will take for the spindle to stop.

::::'''FR5''' - 300
::::'''nCr''' - set this to the current indicated on the motor nameplate.
::::'''nSP''' - 18.00
::::'''COS''' - this is the motor power factor as indicated on the motor nameplate. It could be 0.8 for your spindle
::::'''UFT''' - constant (the option to choose is "L")
::::'''tFr''' - 300
::From the I-O menu: - you shouldn't have to change this, this only affects the on/off control signal to the spindle
