NortSur Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hello, where is the overtorque potentiometer in the DKS3? Or if there such a thing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortSur Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hello, please can anybody explain how to do the torque adjustment procedure on a 1670, I'm really lost. Any little hint will be greatly recognized. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxia Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 WHy are you starting 3 topics about one your problem ? We know U have problem with rack motor - put all info and questions in ONE thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortSur Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 It's not that I mean to do that. I advance sort by sort and post whatever idea i have at that particular moment. If I'd known that these issues are all related maybe I would consolidated them in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxia Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Neil - where? Nortsur - you have started one topic that your motor suddently stops. then you're writing that voltage on the motor drops. then you re asking abot torque adjustment. obviously it is ONE problem - should be one thread. Several ideas around ONE problem should be focused in ONE thread. Regarding your question - what torque you re asking for ? For every rack torque is fixed by the spring in the pinion clutch. when rack blocks and torque is raising clutch is starting to jump. not adjustable. Belt tension - between motor and shaft - is set by hanging the weight on the motor pulley while motor fixing screw are loose. 1,7kg was in the DKS2, could be similar in DKS3. On the tankboard you should be only able to adjust only motor speed if I guess well - the motor driving part on the steering unit (tankboard...whatever) should be similar to the DKS2 but this is a parameter impacting whole developing process, it can't be increased freely. Note I could be wrong since i have no idea how steering in DKS3 is solved. but knowing that tank unit didn't change since years, motor propulsion schema should not evaluate too much as well.

NortSur Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 You're right, partly though. And by the way, thanks for taking the....The reason that I have posted "several theards" is that I'm new at this and didn't know that I could follow on one theard alone. As I was saying, thanks for taking the time. All my torques are fine, except that of the drive motor, when I start the machine, I get a reading of 8v. suddenly after couple of seconds begings to drop to a complete cero. Changed motors. changed tank boards, changed power units (both) swaped computers, ( I have 3 machines) loaded a direct 10v to the motor and it works just fine. I don't know what else to do.

relaxia Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Capture cell ? At the rear of the motor U have photocoupling cell which is counting cycles from the encoder (wheel with holes, at the motor axe). change this small board and check for results. When assembling this PCB be careful - encoder wheel must be placed centrally in the photocoupler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortSur Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Simple as one rack was faulting. The motor runned smoothly while not in the unit, started removing racks until the motor run fine again. Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
