4. Perform a parabolic move and use the following guidelines for the selection of the appropriate I-
Variables:
Ideal Case
The following error is reduced at
minimum and is concentrated in the
center, evenly along the move
High vel \ FE correlation
Cause: damping
Fix: Increase K
vel
(Ix32)
High vel \ FE correlation
Cause: friction
Fix: Increase Integral gain (Ix33) or
Friction Feedforward (Ix68)
High acc \ FE correlation
Cause: Integral lag
Fix: Increase K
