Dancer control with winding diameter
compensation for wiredrawing machine
5.2 Dancer control with winding diameter compensation for wiredrawing
machine
Dancer control is useful for winding movement in wiredrawing machine.
High speed winding under high load inertia is enabled by embedded dancer control with winding diameter compensation.
(1) Feature
For a system like this, it is important to wind fast under high load inertia by keeping the position of dancer roll constant.
(2) Outline
In a wiredrawing section, a wire is pulled at constant speed to be thinner. The wire is then winded with constant tension, which
is regulated by dancer roll. For the winding shaft, dancer control of FR-A700-A1 series is used to keep the position of dancer
roll and the tension constant. Rim speed of winding bobbin is also kept constant by winding diameter compensation function.
The following functions are added to FR-A700-A1 series, compared to FR-A700 series.
Purpose
Feature
Steadiness of dancer roll
Low percentage of speed fluctuation
Winding under high load inertia
Speed response level (internal response is 300rad/s) when vector control with encoder is
used.
Cost reduction
Dancer roll controller is embedded.
Additional Function
Description
Dancer control function
Controls the speed of wind-up shaft to keep the position of dancer roll steady.
Winding diameter compensation
function
Controls the rotation speed of the motor to keep the rim speed constant by calculating the
diameter of the wind-up shaft. By using winding diameter compensation, hunting of dancer
control can be suppressed. Winding diameter compensation and PID calculator are not
necessary.
