Hello everyone so I have a robot that has a spindle that can go to 24,000 rpm to 40,000 but the people before me when programing they were setting up for the robot to only go to 1,500 to 1,800 rmp max. So my question is will it damage the spindle?

Nobody can answer your question without technical specs of your spindle. Ask the people that progammed it before. May be they processed material where only those lower speeds made sense.

That appears to be a compressed air cooled motor. In that case it should be ok to run at low RPM, but will lack power compared to higher RPM.

If you are going to run that fast, make sure to run a spindle warm-up program at the beginning of each day or you risk damaging your bearings. Colombo has a specific procedure outlined in their documentation that covers this.

Are you sure that the 1800 number is RPM? I have a robot that was integrated by the same integrator as yours and their "spindle on" program set a 0-20mA output. I.e, 0 = 0 and 2000 = max rpm. I made a program to convert RPM to AO signal to enhance readability - check your "AA_ON" program to see if it's doing an RPM to 0-20mA conversion or just setting the analog output to AR[1].
