One of our work projects involves creating a "peck cycle" on a drill press using a servo motor. The servo will be direct driven off of the drill press handle shaft with a coupling.
The cycle will be to have the servo rotate a certain distance (which will move drill spindle down to drill), then return to home position, and repeat this cycle approx. 4 times. Each rotation will increase distance of drilling travel (servo rotation).
Components in the plan;
Automation Direct Sure Servo motor + Servo drive
Allen Bradley ML1200 PLC
I am new to servos, have basic understanding of ladder logic/programming. I wanted to first make sure the components selected are proper for our application. I'll create another thread to review programming questions later. Thank you.
