Setup: Kinetix 5700 servo w/ MPM motor, CompactLogix L33ERM
Was Yaskawa now AB.
I'm working with a mill that has a longitudinal axis with an MPM motor. This axis tracks an incoming material via a 2500ppr encoder and mills slots into the material as it traverses through the mill. The machine that feeds the incoming material is belt-driven and pneumatically squeezed so that it can't slip. The material is also clamped in the mill during the "milling" part of the sequence. After the milling, a simple MAM instruction moves the axis back to waiting position for the next trigger.
The problem: I am getting jerkiness during testing without even having the piece clamped in the mill. I am simply letting it pass through while rolling over the encoder. I am also wondering how I can activate a camming profile successfully while the piece is essentially clamped in both machines. I feel like there will be a lot of stress from the feeder machine trying to push the material while it is clamped in the mill.
Current camming profile attached, too.
Thanks in advance.
