[Ch...] Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 So I'm getting reports from my operators that the rotary table is randomly slowing down. Didn't start until Calypso 7.2. I haven't been able to replicate it myself. What is triggering the RT to slow down in 7.2?

[Ri...] Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 How heavy are the parts? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/10928-rotary-table-slowing-down/#findComment-53098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 The parts are fairly light. Documentation only has this note that sounds awfully Germanglish.

[Ch...] Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 I found it. It has to do with moment of inertia setting on RT-AB's. Good thinking Richard.

[Ri...] Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yeah... We found that out the hard way. That was a very expensive mistake that we made. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/10928-rotary-table-slowing-down/#findComment-53104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 We are already talking about rotary tables today so I'm sticking to that theme. Does anyone else with an RTAB notice Calypso reducing the rotational speed? If so, does anyone have a good workaround? It didn't use to do this and only happens when you upgrade to newest versions of Calypso and firmware. It is my understanding that this is done to help protect the RT-AB from over accelerating. All that is great, except for more than doubling the length of some programs. I've had a ticket in with Zeiss for a while. I'm preparing myself for the "this is a feature and not a bug" response.

[Ch...] Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 UPDATE: Turns out this was a bug. Germany fixed it and rolled the changes into the most recent service pack that was just released(7.2.08). If you have an Air Bearing Rotary Table, then it is highly recommended that you get the service pack.
