What are biquad and other filter types for servo tuning?

April 7, 2022 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

biquad filter

One way to improve servo system performance is to increase the gains in the control loop, allowing the system to respond faster to commands and to settle more quickly, with less oscillation. But increasing the servo gains means that any resonances in the system — typically due to mechanical compliance — are further amplified, which can […]

What is external device monitoring and how does it relate to machine safety?

April 1, 2022 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

positively guided contacts

According to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, technical protective measures should be used to reduce risks that cannot be avoided through safe design measures. These technical protective measures include safety devices such as door locks, covers, light curtains, and other equipment that monitors the machine movements. When the safety device controls and external device, such as […]

What machine safety functions address speed, and when are they used?

March 25, 2022 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

machine functional safety

The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC states that when a machine manufacturer is unable to eliminate the risks of potential hazardous situations (for example, mechanical hazards such as crushing or cutting) through safe design methods, the next step is to reduce the risks through technical protective measures. These technical measures include protective devices, such as door locks […]
