4. Tuning of Rigid tapping
4.1. Tuning time constant.
It is necessary to determine maximum spindle speed and to tune time constant properly at first.
(1) Parameters
Following parameters corresponding to gear signals (GR1, GR2 / GR1O, GR2O, GR3O) are prepared
to determine the time constant on rigid tapping.

(2) Tuning procedure
Determine the time constant according to following steps
<1> Determine
maximum spindle speed on rigid tapping for each gear.
<2> Accelerate spindle from stop state (0 min
-1
) to determined maximum spindle speed on rigid
tapping at velocity control mode.
<3> Observe motor speed (SPEED) waveform at acceleration by SERVO GUIDE.
<4> Determine minimum time constant “T
min
” from waveform at acceleration according to following
example.
<5> Set 1.5 times longer value of “T
min
” as time constant for rigid tapping.
