Push speed (No.34 PSHV)
This parameter defines the push speed to be applied after the actuator reaches the target position in push & hold
operation.
Before the shipment, this speed has been set to a default value appropriate for the characteristics of the actuator.
Set an appropriate speed in parameter No. 34 by considering the material and shape of the work part, and so on.
Take note that the maximum speed is limited to 20 [mm/sec] even on high-speed types. Use the actuator at push
speeds not exceeding this level.
Caution: It is recommended that you set the push speed to 5 mm/sec or above to minimize the
negative effect of push force variation.
z
Push & hold stop judgment period (No.6 PSWT)
This parameter is used as a condition for determining that the work part was contacted and thus the push & hold
operation has completed.
As for the specific method of judgment, the push & hold operation is deemed to have completed if the specified
current-limiting value has been retained for the time set in parameter No. 6.
Set an optimal time matching the current-limiting value, by considering the material and shape of the work part,
and so on.
The minimum setting unit is “1 [msec],” while the maximum value is “9999 [msec].” The factory setting is “255
[msec].”
(Note) If the work part has shifted and the current has changed during the push & hold judgment, the judgment
follows the timing chart shown below. This example assumes a judgment period of 255 msec.
After reaching the push current, it is maintained for 200 msec. The current drops during the subsequent 20-msec
period, and accordingly the count is decremented by 20. Therefore, when the operation is resumed the count will
start from 180. Since the count will reach 255 after 75 msec at the push current, the controller will determine that
the push & hold operation has completed.
In this example, the total judgment period is 295 msec.
