Selecting a
method
of gauging
motor
resonance
can
be
accomplished
in
a
number
of ways;
Using
an
oscilloscope to look
at
the
output
of
a
tachometer
attached
to
the
motor
shaft. The
tachometer
will
output
a
DC
voltage,
proportional
to
speed.
This
voltage will oscillate
around
an
average voltage
when
the
motor
is
resonating. The
amplitude
of
this
oscillation will
be
at
a
maximum
when
the
natural
frequency of
the
motor
is
located. USing
this
method
your
goal
is
to
tune
for
the
lowest oscillation amplitude.
When
practicing
your
tuning
skills,
an
unloaded
motor
can
be
placed
on
a
sounding
board
or
a table.
When
a velocity is
commanded
which
is
near
the
motors
natural
frequency,
the
phenomenon
will
cause
Vibration
which
will
become
audible.
Using
this
method
your
goals is to
tune
for
the
lease
amount
of
vibration.
When
tuning
under
loaded conditions
the
audible
vibration
caused
by
the
motors
natural
frequency
can
be
heard
by
placing
the
tip
of
a screw drive
against
the
motor
casing
and
holding
the
handle
of
the
screw driver close to
your
ear
(as you
would a stethoscope).
This
will also allow you
to
hear
the
different
magnitudes
of vibration
caused
by
the
motors
natural
frequency. USing
this
method
your
goal is to
tune
for
the
least
amount
of Vibration.
After some experience with
tuning,
it
is
possible to locate a
motor's
natural
frequency
by
simply placing
your
fingertips
on
the
motor
shaft
and
adjusting
the
motor
velocity. Once
the
Critical velocity is located,
tuning
for
maximum
smoothness
can
be
done
in
the
same
way.
CAUTION
Exercise extreme caution whenever
you
are
near
any
moving
part
of
a mechan1cal system. Also, be
wary
of
touching
the
motor, as
it
is
very
hot
during
normal
operating conditions.
To
tune
the
drive you will
need
a small non-conductive screw
driver.
Before you
can
tune
the
drive to
its
motor,
you
will
need
to
locate
the
natural
frequency
of
the
motor
and
its
load. This
can
be
accomplished
using
the
following procedure:
Let
the
motor
and
driver
wann
up
for
30
minutes
to
an
hour.
Locate
the
tuning
pots
on
the
drive you
are
uSing. Figure 4-5
below
shows
the
location of
the
AX
Drive
tuning
pots. Note
that
the
small
metal
plate held
in
place with two
screws
must
be
removed to reveal
the
tuning
pots.
