Hi Guys,
First post here on the website, I come here often to find answers but this is the first time I have not been able to find a previously answered question.
Anyways here is my attempt to explain my problem. I have 2 servo motors (Kinetix 5700 series drives) that will spin a part, a motor on each side because of the potential weight of this part. So during accel, decel and positioning I assume I should use a MAG instruction to "sync" the two drives. The problem is we are trying to measure this part for unbalance and it has a u-joint in it (the part is a drive shaft). When we are taking actual measurements I need the "slop" out of this u-joint so the slave drive needs to be either slightly behind the master or in a torque mode applying a small amount of torque in the opposite direction to keep tension on this point. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to accomplish this, or have you ever done anything similar?
Thanks,
Jarryed
