Servo motor control
Servo motor control
(OP)
I've got an application where we just need essentially a drill press with a brake (it's a spin welding application). We will manually bring the spindle down but I need to be able to stop the spindle quickly.
In some old equipment I found a brush-less servomotor, pacific scientific R67HENA-R2-NS-NV-00 27.6 amps 2200 RPM, its programmable controller, SC150 Series position controller and sensors.
Now this is a WHOLE lot more than I need programing and control wise but how hard would it be to use this motor and controller?
Would I need the programing software or could I rig it somehow to work, maybe just ditching the control altogether.

1) require positioning?
2) define "stop quickly:" 1 sec? 10? 10msec?
that 6hp motor is sweet....
you can get manual on drive from our website still:

I can send you cc of ols pacCom or whatever software. spec sheet on motor too.
A new positioning drive might only be about $ 2200 or so.

A typical servo drive spin welder would be able to stop in a specific orientation. I don't need this for our application.
In this case stopping in 1 second would be more than enough.
So mikekilroy, with the software (and if everything still works) would it be reasonably easy to get it going? Mounting it on the press will be simple (it's not really a drill press but a largish table top, manual milling center).
I could also just throw the time into the tooling side and design a clutched tool that would do that job.

I cannot tell you how hard the antique SC150 would be to setup, program, and use; my experience is with the Kollmorgen products from 1970's on; I can share docs and data and software from PacSci but never ran that old control, sorry.
