Light Machine Corp. Benchman XTr (retrofit)

Don,
Can you help me out with some of the variables in this post? I understand PID, SPU. But was does Int Range mean? Is there a term in the .ini file that this relates to? Also, is the Accel of the spindle 50deg/s^2 or 50rpm/s?
Thanks,
Mac

Your axis error of 0.0001" is what the machines left the factory with.

I don't ever recall having to tune one of those spindles. I inherited the spindle/spindle drive combinations for the XT line and wasn't allowed to change anything until the 45K, 50K spindle options and drive obsolescence issues required it.
If I recall correctly, the only time we used the drives in torque mode was for rigid tapping applications (low RPM), it should have been in velocity mode at all other times. However, with that being said, it has been a long time since I was hands deep with an XT spindle so I could be completely out of it.
I don't recall the specific details of the terms in the .ini file and my attempts to contact the software guru for the Benchman product line have been unsuccessful.
Not much help, I know.
Sorry
Don

Mac,
On checking my information, I do have a copy of the parameter (.PAR) file used by the Ultra-Master software for this spindle motor (dated 2005). I cannot open it without the Ultra-Master software which I cannot run on any machine I have. (NT was the last version I knew worked). Contact me if you want it and I will send it.

Does it look intelligible in a text editor?

No, it is unintelligible with text editors, but I also have the Ultramaster S/W if you need it (also limited to NT). It may work with XP, but again, I have no way to verify.

How big is the file? Maybe it is possible to tease out the data with a hex editor.
