It's obviously a pointless stunt as presented. At 24VDC the motor was developing 55W and most of that energy went into accelerating and decelerating the screw.
At 75VDC I was getting 2.5 meters/sec (100 IPS) but it was hurting the stage by being beyond the screw's critical RPM. No video on that because I didn't want to repeat it numerous times.
What matters is the stage is going to be equipped with rate-damped compression spring loads next. This will be to test and run data on the "unstallable stepper project" algorithms for when a closed-loop stepper runs into a load beyond what it can sustain at the programmed velocity rate.
This was all fun in videoing what the axis can comfortably do at moderate speeds. Next comes dealing with the adaptive algorithms which are supposed to slow the G100 down during high-speed overloads.

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.

no, the essential difference being that a THC produces motion
orthogonal to the tool path, the tool path just carries on as normal.
In EDM you have to slow and even reverse the tool path as necessary.
