    摘要: A computer-implemented method is disclosed that is usable during production of an assembly using at least a first machine tool. The method comprises retrieving a predetermined production plan for the assembly, wherein the predetermined production plan comprises a plurality of operations using the first machine tool; acquiring input data to determine a production deviation from the predetermined production plan; determining, responsive to determining the production deviation, a modified production plan for the assembly by substituting one or more substitute operations for one or more of the plurality of operations of the predetermined production plan; and transmitting instructions to the first machine tool corresponding to the one or more substitute operations of the modified production plan.

    摘要: A control system for monitoring operation of an industrial machine includes a processor and a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable memory communicating with the processor. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable memory includes instructions that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including: receiving image data from an imaging device that monitors an image zone around the industrial machine, analyzing the image data, generating, based upon the analyzing, operational data associated with the industrial machine, and transmitting the operational data to a display that is communicatively coupled to the control system.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for parametrizing a facility for producing containers including: a mold having a movable mold bottom, a movable drawing rod and an electric machine coupled with the rod; from a configuration in which the rod is in a raised position and in the bottom in an extended position, operating the electric machine as a motor; assessing the resultant of the axial forces on the rod; when a variation is detected in the resultant of the forces, assigning an initial position to the rod; controlling the movement of the mold bottom towards the retracted position thereof; assigning to the rod the corresponding so-called final position of the rod; and calculating the difference between the final position and the initial position.

    摘要: A control device of a machine tool includes a position controller and a model of a position-controlled axis. The position controller receives a position setpoint value, a corresponding actual position value and a compensation value; determines therefrom a resulting value; determines based on the resulting value an actuating signal; and outputs the actuating signal to the position-controlled axis. The position and/or the orientation of the tool relative to the workpiece are adjusted based on the actuating signal. A sequence of successive control errors is stored, in a storage device and read out sequentially in accordance with a sequence of the position setpoint values and supplied to the model. The model determines from the read-out control error a respective compensation value which is then supplied to the position controller, while simulating the mechanically dynamic behavior of the position-controlled axis.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for treating a circumferential edge of a part are described. The method includes the steps of (1) mapping the circumferential edge of the part with a measuring device, either directly or differentially from a known shape profile; and (2) using the measured data to more accurately follow the circumferential edge of the part during subsequent treatment processing steps, thereby improving the accuracy of the treatment process and compared with a non-mapped treatment process.
