A really fast Gecko
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 |

Not so sure you want that:-)
In the previous run I had the G201 cranked up to 75VDC; the motor develops 165W+ at that voltage. On the 1-TPI screw it developed 22lbs (10kg) thrust at 10 meters/min. It took a nice gouge out of my thumb, the kind it takes super-glue to close up and stop the bleeding. Furthermore I had a brick instead of the "action figure" as the load. The brick was duct-taped to the stage; it flew off and destroyed my PC keyboard upon the 2-G deceleration I had programmed. I decided to play it safe one bloody thumb and and new keyboard later when I ran the video. I hit the mouse key to start things and it darn near took another bite out of me. Deleted cussing ensued. Moral: Stay clear of fast-moving stuff unless you want to shed a little unplanned blood.

Pretty violent R&D.

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.
