11-7 Notch Filters
When the machine rigidity is low, machine resonance may produce vibration and noise. Thus you may
not be able to set a high gain. The notch filter can restrict the resonance peak, and allows a high gain
setting and vibration reduction.
The G5-series Servo Drives provide four notch filters that can be used for adjusting frequency, width
and depth. If controlled device causes resonance at a specific location, you can set the resonance
frequency using a notch filter to eliminate resonance.
A notch filter is used to eliminate a specified frequency component.
If machine resonance occurs, use this notch filter to eliminate resonance.
