Motors used In MachIne tools
Main spindle:
Manual/Non CNC Machines: AC Motor.
Machines with Variable speed: AC motor with VFD
drive.
Machines with feed back and wide speed range:
Servo Spindle Motor with Tacho generator
Axis drives:
Manual/Non CNC Machines: No Motor/AC Motor
with stroke setting.
Machines with feed back: Servo Motor with Encoder
Advantages: Disadvantages:
Power to weight ratio is low. Low starting torque(150%).
Simple and rugged in construction. High in rush currents- sudden
Robust and can operate in any Voltage dip during starting.
environmental condition. Mainly single speed.
Cheap – Very few Rotating parts. Speed control Need special
Low maintenance cost- No brushes, drive mechanism.
commutators, and slip rings Variable speed drives
3Phase is Self starting Motor- No Reduces capacity of motor
additional items needed.
.
Features:
Initial cost is high.
Need DC supply for Rotor.
Smaller size for given power.
Constant speed-torque characteristics.
Have got higher efficiency (90 – 92%).
Speed is independent of the load over the
operating range of the motor.
Servo Motors:
Used for Open loop and Closed loop
application.
Types:
AC Servo Motors.
DC Servo Motors.
High-speed,High power and high precision
applications.
