Scaling a Kinetix Axis in Real Units: Position Units, the Conversion Constant and the Gearbox

Four boxes left to right with the same displacement written under each: motor VPL-B1303C at 4000 counts per rev showing 16,000 feedback counts, a 4:1 gearbox showing 4 motor revs, a 5 mm lead ball screw showing 1 screw rev, and the load in millimetres showing 5.000 mm

Scaling a Kinetix Axis in Real Units: Position Units, the Conversion Constant and the Gearbox A new Kinetix axis is scaled one Position Unit per motor rev, at 1,000,000 Motion Counts per rev, and on Unlimited travel that axis rolls its position accumulator over after 2,147 revolutions. The motion runs through the rollover perfectly smoothly. … Read more
