Stepper Closed Loop and PID Tuning Question

07 Jan 2018 16:38 #104120 by MatthiasF1210
Hello everybody,

I am using linuxcnc since 1 year on my 3axis mill (wabeco F1210 with homemade cnc components) in an open loop configuration with kind of standard setup.

In the last 3 weeks I did a complete rebuild and added some linear encoders to change the system to closed loop. While doing this I want to renew my hal and ini-File from scratch. So far everything is going ok, even when there is a lot of stuff to learn in all this configuration stuff.

The attached halscope is showing the ferror on X while I am doing a +5mm +10mm -15mm sequence. This was the best result I could find.
My first question is, how is the result? I like it, except of the spike in the beginning of the movement. But I don't know if it is realistic to expect better results.

I wonder if this is not backlash what I see, but I could not influence the behaviour by changing the backlash in the ini file.

Machine details:
Stepper and mechanics:
- Sanyo Denki 103 H7823 1740 (4,0A, 3,00Nm) -> 1600step/rev
- tooth belt 2:1
- ball screw 5mm/rev
--> 640step/mm --> 1step = 0,00156mm
Encoder:
- 1µm
- Mesa 6i25

People are often disappointed when they attach linear scales to motion systems because you get a clear
look at almost all the positioning errors...

I think the error spike you see is mostly "stiction" since its much worse when starting motion from a stop
This is quite significant with dovetail type ways

Hi PCW,

thanks for your opinion. Overall I am not worried about the precision of the machine, I am just trying to get the best out of it.

"Stiction " makes totally sense, but this leads me to the next question. Is there a Parameter to compensate stiction? This should be possible in theories, just add a little extra while the movement starts...

Thanks

Matthias

There's nothing specifically in the PID component for stiction but its probably possible to wire something
up in hal to give a fixed "kick" in the direction of motion when motion starts after having been stopped for
some time (time enough for the oil film to leak out)
