    This document discusses two applications that use Compumotor solutions for precision positioning: 1) A medical research lab automated their microscope inspection process using Compumotor microstepping motors, drives, and a precision leadscrew table to provide sub-micron positioning accuracy. A 6K4 controller with high-speed ethernet was used to interface with the HMI. 2) A bearing manufacturer replaced a grinding machine with a single leadscrew driven by a Compumotor servo motor to perform rough and fine grinding cuts at different velocities controlled by a programmable controller. The servo provided adequate torque margin for the loads.

    System Calculations
    Microscope Positioning
    Application Type: X/Y Point to Point
    Motion: Linear
    Description: A medical research lab automated their visual
    inspection process. Each specimen has an origin imprinted on
    the slide with all other positions referenced from that point. The
    system uses a HMI for data input from the operator, and
    determines the next data point based on previous readings.
    Each data point must be accurate to within 0.1 microns.
    Machine Objectives
    Sub-micron positioning
    Specimen to remain still during inspection
    Low-speed smoothness (delicate equipment)
    Fast communications to the HMI
    Motion Control Requirements
    High resolution
    Stepper (zero speed stability)
    Microstepping
    High speed interface
    Compumotor Solution: Microstepping motors and drives, in
    conjunction with a precision ground 40 pitch leadscrew table,
    provide a means of sub-micron positioning with zero speed
    stability. To provide full X, Y, Z micro-scope control, it is
    necessary to use the 6K4 Controller which utilizes high speed
    ethernet communications to the HMI.

    Precision Grinder
    A bearing manufacturer replaced a bearing race finishing
    machine. The old machine utilized a two-stage grinding
    arrangement where one motor and gearbox provided a rough
    cut and a second motor with a higher ratio gearbox performed
    the finishing cut. The designer simplified the mechanics and
    eliminated one motor. He used a single leadscrew and
    exploited the wide speed range available with servos to perform
    both cuts. This was accomplished by moving a cutting tool
    mounted on the end of the leadscrew into the workpiece at two
    velocities; an initial velocity for the rough cut and a much
    reduced final velocity for the finish cut.
    The torque required to accelerate the load and overcome the
    inertia of the load and the rotational inertia of the leadscrew
    varies, but does not exceed 80 oz-in. The torque necessary to
    overcome friction was measured with a torque wrench and
    found to be 20 oz-in. A servo motor with 144 oz-in of continuous torque was selected and provided adequate torque margin.
    This grinder is controlled by a programmable controller (PC)
    and theenvironment requires that the electronics withstand a
    60o C environment. A Gemini GV6 drive/controller provides the
    necessary velocities and accelerations. The speed change in
    the middle of the grinding operation is signaled to the PC via a
    limit switch at which time the PC programs the new velocity into
    the servo controller.
