Abstract: A method for aligning a workpiece in a working space of a machine tool having a numerical control system uses a probe. 3D models of the working space, probe, and workpiece are virtually displayed. The workpiece is positioned in the working space and the virtual workpiece is positioned in the virtual working space so that there is an initial coincidence between positions thereof. The probe is manually positioned relative to the workpiece, wherein a planned probing point and probing direction are selected based on a minimum distance of the virtual probe from the virtual workpiece, and are displayed. Enabling of the probing is based on quality of the planned probing point, and, when enabled, a probing operation is triggered, and coordinates of a probing point are determined. The position of the workpiece is recalculated using these coordinates, and the position of the virtual workpiece is updated.

Abstract: A time necessary for phase alignment is shortened in a polygon machining device having a plurality of cutting tools. In phase alignment of polygon machining, a phase RCURRENT of the workpiece axis and tool axis before phase alignment and a machining-allowing phase command value RNEW(n) are calculated, a new phase command value R′NEW is calculated while considering restrictions such as a phase alignment method and a maximum rotation speed. By adjusting a phase to the new phase command value R′NEW, a time necessary for phase alignment can be shortened.

Abstract: In a method for operating a machine having a trajectory determined by a parts program and including multiple block transitions with a non-tangential contour, a high trajectory speed and a short operating time are achieved. For a first position-controlled axis, an acceleration duration different from a first period duration can be specified, wherein a transition maximum speed for the first position-controlled axis is determined such that, when the first position-controlled axis moves with the transition maximum speed and the transition maximum acceleration is applied, the speed of the first position-controlled axis has a value of zero at the end of the acceleration duration. The traversing movement is determined such that the speed of the first position-controlled axis, at the transition from a first trajectory section to a second trajectory section, does not exceed the transition maximum speed.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating an automation system which comprises a drive system and an optical projection unit. The drive system comprises a movable rotor, where the rotor can be driven with the aid of a drive. A control system of the automation system carries out the following steps of determining a position information of a rotor, linking an object to be displayed to the rotor, rendering a projection to be displayed by the optical projection unit on the basis of the position information of the rotor and the object to be displayed, and outputting the rendered projection to the optical projection unit, so that the optical projection unit outputs the rendered projection on a surface and/or on the rotor or on a superstructure or superstructures of the rotor, and/or on transport goods of the drive system.

Abstract: A virtual grid system is provided that enables allocation of energy produced by an energy producing asset to individual units of a multi-unit building. The system tracks the amount of electrical energy produced by the energy producing asset and also tracks an amount of electrical energy used by each individual unit. The system compares energy production information including pairs of an amount of energy produced and a corresponding time interval during which the amount of energy was produced to energy usage information including pairs of an amount of energy used and a corresponding time interval during which the amount of energy was used. The system allocates an amount of energy produced during each time interval to the individual units based on the amount of energy consumed by each respective individual unit during the time intervals. The system also calculates an energy cost allocation for each individual unit.

Abstract: A locating system for a surgical suite includes optical markers coupled to a medical device. A sensor is configured to obtain an initial position data of the optical markers. A laser device is configured to obtain subsequent position data of the optical markers. A controller receives the initial position data from the sensor and the subsequent position data from the laser device. The controller is configured to determine a position of the medical device within the surgical suite and recognize a type of the medical device in response to the optical markers.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processing device, position error data from one or more motors of a process chamber. The method further includes performing preprocessing of the position error data. The method further includes transforming the position error data to a frequency domain. The method further includes determining, based on the frequency domain position error data, that a vibration fault has occurred in connection with the process chamber. The method further includes performing a corrective action in view of the vibration fault.
