Basic requirements
Requirements for servo feed system
1. Wide speed range
2. High positioning accuracy
3. Having sufficient transmission rigidity and high speed stability
4. Quick response, no overshoot
In order to ensure productivity and processing quality, in addition to high positioning accuracy, it is also required to
have good fast response characteristics, that is, the response of tracking command signals should be fast, because the
CNC system requires sufficient acceleration and deceleration during startup and braking, shortening the transition process
time of the feeding system and reducing contour transition errors.
5. Low speed high torque, strong overload capacity
Generally speaking, servo drives have an overload capacity of 1.5 times or more within minutes or even half an hour,
and can be overloaded by 4 to 6 times in a short period of time without damage.
6. High reliability
The feed drive system of CNC machine tools is required to have high reliability, good working stability, strong
environmental adaptability to temperature, humidity, vibration, and strong anti-interference ability.
Requirements for motors
1. The motor can operate smoothly from the lowest speed to the highest speed, with minimal torque fluctuations,
especially at low speeds such as 0.1r/min or lower, where there is still a smooth speed without crawling phenomenon.
2. The motor should have a large and long-lasting overload capacity to meet the requirements of low-speed and high
torque. Generally, DC servo motors require an overload of 4-6 times within a few minutes without damage.
3. In order to meet the requirements of rapid response, the motor should have a small moment of inertia and a large
locked rotor torque, and have the smallest possible time constant and starting voltage.
4. The motor should be able to withstand frequent starting, braking, and reversing.
