METHOD FOR DETERMINING DEAD ZONE OF VALVE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the dead zone of a proportional control valve (8) used for controlling an actuator of a rock drilling device, the method comprising controlling the control valve (8) with an electric P controller (12) and measuring the position of the actuator in a coordinate system representing its movement with a separate position detector. The dead zone is determined by means of a product of the P controller of the control valve (8) and the difference value.
