2.2.6 Universal axis test
Function description
With the universal axis test, different characteristics are calculated which describe
the mechanical properties of an axis.
Characteristic Description
Residual torque (Res) This characteristic is not supported.
Coulomb friction (Coul) The Coulomb friction describes the proportion of the
friction which is independent of the speed.
Mixed friction (Mix) This characteristic is not supported.
Viscous friction (Visc) This characteristic describes the proportion of the
friction which increases linear to the speed.
Moment of inertia (Inr) The characteristic describes the entire moment of
inertia that needs to be moved by the electrical
drive. This includes the moment of inertia of the
motor.
Torque offset (Const) With axes which are pretensioned in one direction
(e.g. vertical axes) the characteristic indicates the
torque required for compensating for this pretension.
Coherence (K) The coherence indicates how much a model
parameterized with the calculated characteristics
can simulate the measured torque characteristics.
Circular deviation (G) The characteristic describes the maximum position
deviation with axis movement on the basis of a
velocity profile. The calculation of the characteristic
is based on ISO 230-4 as is the case with the
circularity test.
The measurement type-relevant parameters are also specified.
