Machine tool drives
Main spindle drive
A main spindle drive can be implemented using a SINAMICS DCM.
Perform current controller optimization, speed controller optimization (possibly, manually re-
optimize for the speed controller) and field characteristic recording (p50051 =24, 25, 26, 27).

C-axis mode with main spindle drives
For normal main spindle operation, DDS0 is used. Upon selection of
C-axis mode, DDS1 is used (see above under Drive Data Set DDS).
Procedure: After complete parameter assignment and optimization of the main spindle drive
in DDS0, copy DDS1 to DDS1 and then perform optimization of C-axis mode in DDS1.
The current controller optimization usually provides suitable settings; manual re-optimization
of the current controller only necessary in border-line cases. Optimizations of the speed
control that are found (should exhibit the most rigid response possible) can usually be
improved by manual re-optimization.
If necessary, perform speed controller adaptation Sheet 6805.
Spindle positioning for main spindle drives
With 6RA26 and 6RA27, there was a separate additional module for spindle positioning.
6RA80 no longer has this.
If SINAMICS is used, spindle positioning can be implemented in the following ways.
Spindle positioning via an NC (SINUMERIK) or SIMOTION.
Feed drives
Old thyristor controllers as the feed drive can be replaced by 6RA80 if the time is taken to
perform optimization carefully.
Automatic current controller optimization sometimes has to be improved by manual re-
optimization. Always manually re-optimize the speed optimization,
If necessary, perform speed controller adaptation Sheet 6805.
If transistor choppers were used because of high dynamic requirements, retrofitting with AC
servo technology (AC servo motor plus converter) is almost always necessary.
Angular synchronous control
SIMOTION can be used in this case.
Can be implemented using the DCC on the CUD or with SIMOTION.
Cross-cutter/shear control
Can be implemented using the DCC on the CUD or with SIMOTION.
Technology control for hoisting gear applications
For technological hoisting gear applications, SIMOTION can be used with specially
developed standard software.
The new SIMOCRANE Basic Technology
sector-specific solution is available. The SIMOCRANE Basic Technology
system consists of hardware and software packages for automating
cranes while helping you to achieve maximum performance
with your crane applications. The new solution
includes the following features:
The basic technology includes motion control of all
main crane drives:
- Hoisting gear
- Traversing gear
- Trolley
- Slewing gear
- Holding and closing gear, etc. (e.g. for booms etc.)
• All of the functions proven in practice have been integrated into the
new platform. In so doing, the latest requirements have been
