Advanced Servo Settings Display
The servo press makes available some advanced settings
and operations. See Figure 5-27 for the Advanced Servo
Settings submenu diagram.
Figure 5-28 shows the color front panel screen on which
values are entered for the four variables:
Top of Stroke Position
- The thruster returns to
this position after each weld cycle.
Acceleration
- The acceleration used to achieve the
velocity required of the servomotor when the speed is in
transition to a higher velocity.
Deceleration
-
The deceleration used to achieve
the velocity required of the servomotor when the
speed is in transition to a lower velocity.
Travel Limit
- This setting sets the position limit
the servo press is permitted to travel. Its purpose is
to prevent contact between the horn and fixture. This
position is monitored continuously throughout the weld.
The maximum Travel Limit is based on the maximum
stroke distance of the press.
CAUTION
DO NOT make any adjust-
ments to Acceleration or
Deceleration unless you
have first contacted qualified
Dukane personnel for guidance
in making any necessary adjust-
ments
.
Weld Motion Control
-
This is the last of the Advanced
Servo Settings.
This setting determines whether force or speed is
controlled by the servo during the weld process.
Figure 5-29 at the right illustrates these choices.

Speed mode is highly recommended as it is
the only mode for which all press hardware
can be calibrated and validated. The Force
mode is provided only for the purposes of
experimentation and is not intended for
production.
