Configuring Motion Settings
Overview of Motion
Settings
After selecting a profile, which sets the basic properties for the spin,
configure the following motion settings before performing a spin.
Motion Parameters
These settings are not stored in a profile, and are therefore not saved
when the software is closed.
Profile Parameters
These parameters are stored in a profile, and are therefore saved when
the software is closed.
Setting Definition
Velocity The rotor velocity, expressed as a percentage of maximum
velocity in RPM (revolutions per minute). The maximum
velocity is set on the Profiles page.
Acceleration The acceleration of the next spin, expressed as a
percentage of the maximum acceleration.
Deceleration The deceleration of the next spin, expressed as a
percentage of the maximum deceleration.
Setting Definition
Maximum
velocity
A software limit on the greatest speed the rotor can attain
during a spin. This cannot be set higher than 3000 RPM.
Bucket
tolerance
The bucket tolerance is the margin of error allowed in
positioning the bucket at the teachpoint. This setting is
configured at Velocity11
®
and you should consult a
Velocity11 representative before changing it.
For a definition of teachpoints see, “About Teachpoints”
on page 13.
Rehome after a
spin
Available to Administrators and Velocity11 Service Center
personnel only (when logged in through VWorks
™
or
Access2
™
software).
After a spin, the rotor does not always return exactly to the
home position. This setting re-homes the rotor, keeping
the buckets aligned accurately over multiple spins.
This setting causes a delay of up to 4 seconds while the
robot homes, but we strongly recommend that you keep
this setting on. If you have any questions about this,
contact Velocity11 Service Center.
For a definition of Home position, see, “About the Home
Position” on page 13.
For more information about setting the Teachpoint for
bucket position, see “Removing the Buckets” on page 71.
