Leadshine BLM57180 Not Achieving Max Speed
-
Now that I finally have my external brushless servos working....thanks everyone on the forum....I'm not achieving max motor speed.
These motors are rated for 3000RPM and should be able to hit 4000RPM max. The motor has a 1000 line encoder and is driving a 10mm pitch ball screw.
With quadrature decoding my steps/mm are 400.
Max Speed = (3000RPM * 4000steps/rev) / 400 steps/mm = 30,000 mm/min = 500mm/s
I have my axis set as such with M203 set to 30,000.
When I run the actuator I on;y hit about 100-125mm/sec.
Am I hitting a limit because of the slow timing needed for these external steppers?

With 8.5us minimum step pulse width and step pulse interval, the absolute maximum step pulse rate possible is 1000000/(8.5+8.5) = 58.8kHz. Allowing for some processing time, say about 50kHz. At 400 steps/mm the maximum speed is therefore 50000/400 = 125mm/sec.
So the answer to your question is yes. To get higher speeds, you will need to reconfigure the drivers to reduce the steps/mm.

Touche...Looks like I need a faster screw or faster external driver.

also you ignored the very big warning for M584 to unmap the old assignment
