[Emc-users] SEM /HJ-130 AC Servomotor

2007-02-22 Thread Kasparov, Aram
Hello I am working on tune up of SEM AC servomotor. Everything looks good, except that when I JOG motor, it turns as a "pendulum". I meant that it passes point where it should stop, than shaft turns back direction and again passes "center" point. That repeats 3 to 4 times until shaft of the mo

I've used a laser printer (600 dpi) to print disks with up to 400 lines per revolution on 2 inch diameter disk. used for a tachometer, drawn in Autocad and printed on transparency film. Newer higher resolution printers whether laser or inkjet should work very well to print 500 or more lines per rev

You might want to take a look at synergy. Runs on linux and Windoze. The learning curve is steep but it is very capable; way more capable than I am. The CAD is free and the first step of CAM not expensive. It can be upgraded all the way to parasolids. http://www.webersys.com/ Thirty day ful
