3. Controller Functions
3.15 Gear Change
Various gear reduction stages are used, according to the spindle speed,
to obtain a wide speed range with constant power at the spindle. This
requires automatic gear changes in modern machine tools.
For two reduction stages, the controller handles the automatic changeover;
for more than two stages, the changeover is supported by the controller
by speed oscillation (hunting).
3.15.1 Automatic Gear Change via the Controller
Prerequsites:
• two auxiliary d.c. contactors (see Figure 75)
• two-stage gearbox with gear-change motor
• acknowledgement feedback for gear stages
Gear change is initiated by a change to a parameter record that is
assigned to a stage that is not engaged.
