Cycle (by angular displacement)
In a cyclic test, the spindle will move between two reference angles that are relative to
tared zero.
A cycle only starts when the drive spindle is at the furthest displacement position from
the angle set in the initial direction of rotation.
Cycle Count
1-8000
Clockwise (CW) Speed
Anticlockwise (ACW) Speed
Speed is always positive units (range as jog speeds, above)
CW Angle
ACW Angle
Sets clockwise and anticlockwise limits for a cyclic test. Up
to 8000 revolutions from tared zero are allowed.
A +ve value is a clockwise relative angle of the drive
spindle, and a –ve value is an anticlockwise relative angle.
Start Direction
Select in which direction the drive spindle should move to
start the test cycle. Note that depending on the angle at
which the spindle has been left, it may need to first move in
the opposite direction through the tared zero angle, to reach
the starting angle.
AFTI Control
The AFTI can be used to set torque limits to control drive spindle movement during a
cycle. In the AFTI Comms menu ‘Port’, set the gauge baud rate to 115,200, and TX Units
and TX sign, both to On.
Loads, action (reverse/stop/cycle) and cycle count are all set on the gauge.
The stand can
then be made to:
move to a set torque or break condition and
stop
cycle
between two torque values
