Separating motion symptoms from their real causes
A high-cycle motion system needed a fault model that accounted for commands, drive behavior, feedback, cable routing, mechanical loading, and physical interference.
THE CONSTRAINT
Why the problem resisted an easy answer.
Repeated position faults and component damage were being treated as a software or tuning problem even though the observed behavior crossed several physical and control layers.
Technical approach
- 01Separated command accuracy from servo accuracy
- 02Traced the path from control output through drive, encoder, and mechanism
- 03Compared configuration limits, physical impacts, and feedback behavior
THE USEFUL OUTCOME
Clarity that supports action.
Produced a defensible system-level diagnosis and identified multiple non-software contributors for targeted corrective action.
