Zone Limits (Clamped)
Zone Limits can be particularly useful in clamping applications. In the
example below, the moving platform ("Load") is designed to move to the
left or right to clamp a work piece against a fixed metal block.
To set up clamping:
1.
Define your Zone Torque Limits as desired. See example below.
2.
Set the "In-Zone Tracking Limit" to zero (OFF). This will prevent
unwanted tracking error shutdowns from occurring during
clamping.
3.
Set Zone Move Done Style to "Clamped".
Application Tip: When moving the motor into a clamping position,
you must send enough pulses to ensure that the motor is fully pressed
into the object being clamped.
In this zone, torque applied
in the “positive” (CCW) direction will
be limited to
5%
of peak torque.
In this zone, torque applied
in the “negative” (CW) direction will
be limited to
5%
of peak torque.

Load
In-Zone Tracking Limit may be increased (or
turned off altogether) when axis is in a
Clamping Zone to prevent nuisance tracking
error shutdowns during clamping operation.
