(2) Notch Filter
The notch filter can eliminate specific frequency vibration generated by sources such as resonances of ball screw
axes. The notch filter puts a notch in the gain curve at the specific vibration frequency. The frequency
components near the notch frequency can be eliminated with this characteristic. A higher notch filter Q value
produces a sharper notch and phase delay.
Set the machine’s vibration frequency in the parameter of a notch filter that is being used.
When the vibration is suppressed but overshooting occurs, increase the Q value and check whether the
overshooting is corrected.
Q value = 0.5 Q value = 1.0
