摘要:
A control system is provided for allowing complex shapes to be machined on a workpiece at high speed. The control system is computer controlled and receives workpiece profile data which are converted into a succession of tool position signals during machining. Not all the digital signals are calculated at one time, a number of future digital signals are calculated during a succession of time intervals. In each time interval, a tool position signal is outputted which is of a constant amplitude corresponding to the required tool position and which is fed to a signal processor where it is converted into a continuous signal which so changes progressively that at successive time intervals, equal to the time intervals of the tool position signals, the amplitude of the continuous signal is related to the successive values of the tool position signals. This continuous signal is fed to a closed-loop control system which controls the movement of the tool holder in accordance with the continuous signal. The tool holder is of a type having a bandwidth sufficient to allow the required movements at the required speed. The control system has proportional and differential feedback.

A two axis, digital, numerical control system for a turret lathe, using a common add-subtract unit which receives and sends information signals over a single pair of time-shared multiconductor trunk lines. A display device whereby information signaled during a selected time period and at either the inputs or the outputs of the adder may be viewed. For a more detailed abstract see Table of Contents.

A method includes simulating a cutting tool drilling an earth formation by incrementally rotating the cutting tool at a plurality of time intervals, determining a true trajectory of a cutting element disposed on the cutting tool for the duration of the plurality of time intervals, and determining a dynamic work profile for the cutting element based on the true trajectory and a force acting on the cutting element at each time interval.

Disclosed are various systems and features for use with a machine, such as a sewing machine, to facilitate multi-patch multi-view systems that may reduce errors associated with material thickness, object height, perspective. Such systems and features may be useful in the context of performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate.

The interference monitoring device comprises: an advanced position calculation unit that calculates an advanced position of the tool or the workpiece ahead by a predetermined period of time based on the program; an interference check unit that draws an estimated shape of a machined part of the workpiece after machining based on the advanced position, and makes the interference check based on the estimated shape of the machined part of the workpiece in the drawing; and an uncut region calculation unit that calculates an error between the estimated shape of the machined part of the workpiece in the drawing and an actual shape of the machined part of the workpiece after machining as an uncut region in the estimated shape of the machined part of the workpiece in the drawing. The interference check unit does not make the interference check in the uncut region.

Systems and methods for automated workflow comprise assigning a set of first targets to an uncompiled first workflow. The uncompiled first workflow specifies a first set of process modules. Each such module is associated with a subset of unit operations. Each unit operation includes a time interval and specifies an instrument. For each target in the set of first targets, the uncompiled workflow is translated into an instance of a compiled first workflow comprising a linear temporal order of unit operations, each including execution instructions for an addressed instrument. A set of second targets is obtained and assigned a second uncompiled workflow. Compilation of the second uncompiled workflow for each second target produces a different instance of a compiled second workflow. Each second compiled workflow comprises a linear temporal order of unit operations, with each unit operation including execution instructions for an addressed instrument and specifying a time interval.
摘要:
A conveyor in a machine tool system is dynamically controlled. A volume of material to be conveyed by the conveyor is iteratively determined. During each iteration, a current position of a tool is determined. An intersection of a tool model representing the tool at the current position and a workpiece model representing a workpiece is determined and a nominal volume of material removed from the workpiece by the tool based on the intersection of the tool model and the workpiece model is determined. The volume of material to be conveyed is updated based on the nominal volume of material removed from the workpiece and an operating state of the conveyor. The operating state of the conveyor is controlled based on the updated volume of material to be conveyed.
摘要:
A motion system and method of managing health of the motion system uses exclusively motion variables used by a servo drive of the motion system to calculate at least one health indication value for the motion system. The health indication value is used to generate a notification for maintenance of the motion system.
