Abstract
A synchronization control apparatus includes a movement amount calculation unit and a movement unit. The movement amount calculation unit calculates a movement amount required for a slave axis to move in accordance with the position of a master axis in such a manner that the slave axis moves to a designated position when the master axis arrives at a designated position, and that the speed ratio of the slave axis to the master axis is as designated. The movement unit moves the slave axis to the position that is forward of the designated position by the movement amount calculated by the movement amount calculation unit, and then moves the slave axis to an end point in accordance with the position of the master axis.
Claims16
A synchronization control apparatus for initiating a synchronous operation immediately after a slave axis moves to a designated position while a master axis moves to a designated position, the synchronization control apparatus comprising:
- a designation unit configured to designate a position of the master axis, a position of the slave axis, and a speed ratio that prevails when the master axis and the slave axis finish the designated movement;
- a movement amount calculation unit configured to calculate a movement amount required for the slave axis to move in accordance with the position of the master axis in such a manner that the slave axis moves to the designated position when the master axis arrives at the designated position, and that the speed ratio of the slave axis to the master axis is as designated by the designation unit;
- and
- a movement unit configured to move the slave axis to the position that is forward of the designated position by the movement amount calculated by the movement amount calculation unit, and then move the slave axis to an end point in accordance with the position of the master axis.
A synchronization control apparatus that initiates a synchronous operation immediately after a slave axis moves a designated distance while a master axis moves to a designated position, the synchronization control apparatus comprising:
- a designation unit configured to designate a position of the master axis, a movement amount of the slave axis, and a speed ratio that prevails when the master axis and the slave axis finish the designated movement;
- a movement amount calculation unit configured to calculate a movement amount required for the slave axis to move in accordance with the position of the master axis in such a manner that the slave axis moves the designated distance when the master axis arrives at the designated position, and that the speed ratio of the slave axis to the master axis is as designated by the designation unit;
- and
- a movement unit configured to move the slave axis by an amount that is calculated by subtracting the movement amount calculated by the movement amount calculation unit from the designated movement amount, and then move the slave axis to an end point in accordance with the position of the master axis.
A synchronization control apparatus for initiating a synchronous operation immediately after a slave axis moves to a designated position while a master axis moves a designated distance, the synchronization control apparatus comprising:
- a designation unit configured to designate a movement amount of the master axis, a position of the slave axis, and a speed ratio that prevails when the master axis and the slave axis finish the designated movement;
- a movement amount calculation unit configured to calculate a movement amount required for the slave axis to move in accordance with the position of the master axis in such a manner that the slave axis moves to the designated position when the master axis finishes moving the designated distance, and that the speed ratio of the slave axis to the master axis is as designated by the designation unit;
- and
- a movement unit configured to move the slave axis to the position that is forward of the designated position by the movement amount calculated by the movement amount calculation unit, and then move the slave axis to an end point in accordance with the position of the master axis.
