The Application of INVT Servo DA200 Gantry Synchronization in Solder Paste Printing Presses

1.Equipment Introduction

Automatic solder paste printing presses are generally composed of printing plate mounting, solder paste, embossing, transmission circuit boards and other institutions. Its working principle is: First, fix the printed circuit board on printing position table, and then use left and right scraper on the printing press to print solder paste or red plastic in the corresponding pad through the steel net leakage, through transmission station, input the evenly printed PCB to patch machine for automatic patch. This equipment double Y-axis is the gantry structure connected by screw lever, maintaining the same speed on both sides in the process of high-speed positioning, which requires servo with gantry synchronization function.

2.Brief introduction of gantry synchronization

The usage of gantry synchronization focuses on controlling two mobile platforms to move at constant speed, if the movement between two axes exists too much difference, it will cause damage to the structure, so the synchronization moving controlling between two axes is the first priority of gantry synchronization usage.

Table 2

Gantry synchronization control function provided by INVT DA200 series can meet the demand of users successfully. The drive will be self-synchronous control, when the position deviation exceeds set allowable value, it will issue a warning to stop the system operation.

P4.33 [Position tolerance pulse range] can set the alarm position tolerance threshold. A key point of gantry synchronization control is to ensure the parallelism of gantry; the first step is to keep the gantry straight through return to original function, during the process of back to origin, the host computer only gives a homing signal to the left and right servos , after touching the left and right original switches, the following homing action are completed by servo.

First of all, the host computer sends out homing signal to the host computer and slave computer at the same time, the host (slave)computer stops after touching the original sensor and wait for the slave computer to touch it. Two signals run back 1 turn (P6.38 = 10000) at the same time after being valid, then run forward and stop until touch the sensor switch, During the homing process, the host computer has been releasing the signal to slave computer gantry, it finally sends out gantry synchronization signal after completing contraposition.After the completion of gantry contraposition, the host computer sends out the mechanical homing signal; DA200 contains six kinds of built-in applications, the homing mode in different industrial control is provided for customers to choose.

3. Gantry control principle:

As shown in the figure below, the gantry synchronization controller will read the position signals of master and slave computer in real time to obtain the difference of position and speed between master and slave computer, then output the speed and torque compensation commands to achieve the synchronous operation of master and slave computer.

Set the host’s P6.31 to P6.35 according to actual system.

5. Servo commissioning steps:

5.1.P6.30 open gantry synchronous switch;

5.2.Determine the host and slave according to the wiring of IO port (P6.37)

5.3.P4.62 grating ruler direction consistent with motor direction;

5.4.Online learning mechanical inertia (mechanical real-time load inertia ratio can be observed by R0.51)

5.5.Debugging gain according to the actual situation;

5.6.Set P4.64 parameters according to the situation (view gantry synchronization position deviation value through the R0.53)

5.7.According to the actual situation, decide whether you need to reverse the gantry synchronization alignment direction (P6.41) and gantry synchronization contraposition back distance (P6.37)

Specific parameters are set as follows :
