Hi,
Cross-posted from the geckodrive group. I thought people here might
be interested in it.
--------------------------------------
I uploaded a short video that has an axis tooling along at 3,932 IPM.
Please go to:
Then pick 3900IPM.avi. Please download and save; view it from your
hard drive instead of selecting "open". This will save on bandwidth
and not irritate our webmaster.:-)
Video: 16 seconds, 1.234MB, 720 X 480 format, encoded using DivX 6.0,
no audio; had to remove it because I swore when I nearly got nicked
by the axis.
The average velocity is 51.4"/sec if accel/decel is included. The
velocity 65.535"/sec after accel, before decel. The motor is an MCG
IH230014 run in parallel at 3A/phase, 24VDC supply, PID closed-loop
on the G100 driving a stock-standard G201. The distance in each
direction is 20.000" Motor speed is 3,932.10 RPM, screw is 1"/turn,
well oiled to keep from overheating.:-)
Metric:
Avg velocity: 1.306 meters/sec. (7,836mm/min)
Peak velocity: 1.666 meters/sec. (10,000mm/min)
Distance: 0.508 meters in each direction.
I'll leave the video up one week, then I'll take it down. Enjoy.
Mariss
