When the machine rigidity is low, axis torsion may produce resonance which results in vibration
and noise. Thus you may not be able to set a high gain. The notch filter can restrict the
resonance peak, and allows a high gain setting and vibration reduction.
The OMNUC G5-series Servo Drives provide four notch filters that can be used for adjusting
frequency, width and depth. If a ball screw or other controlled device causes resonance at a
specific location, you can set the resonance frequency using a notch filter to eliminate
resonance.
A notch filter is used to eliminate a specified frequency component.
If machine resonance occurs, use this notch filter to eliminate resonance.
