A.4.1 Guidelines for Gain Settings According to Load Inertia Ratio

Machines with Medium Rigidity
Machines driven by ball screw through reduction gears, or machines directly driven by long
ball screws.
Example: General machine tools, orthogonal robots, conveyors

Note
For an inertia ratio of 10 x, or greater, slightly reduce the position loop gain and speed loop
gain below the values shown and set the integration time constant to a higher value before
starting the adjustment.
As the inertia ratio increases, set the position loop gain and speed loop gain to the lower limit
of the range of values specified. Conversely, increase the speed loop integration time
constant.
Machines with Low Rigidity
Machines driven by timing belts, chains or wave reduction gears (product name: Harmonic
Drive).
Example: Conveyors, articulated robots
