Abstract
A system for tuning of axis control of a multi-axis machine and a method of operating the same are provided. The system includes a knowledge base for acquiring and maintaining factual knowledge associated with the tuning of the axis control. The factual knowledge has a uniform ontology a uniform data representation, and includes known input facts associated with known output facts. The system further includes an inference unit for automatically inferring new output facts associated with given new input facts in accordance with the factual knowledge.
Claims11
A system for tuning of axis control of a multi-axis machine, comprising:
- a knowledge base for acquiring and maintaining factual knowledge associated with the tuning of the axis control,
- the factual knowledge having a uniform ontology and a uniform data representation, and
- the factual knowledge comprising known input facts associated with known output facts;
- and
- an inference unit for automatically inferring new output facts associated with given new input facts in accordance with the factual knowledge;
- the output facts respectively including:
- at least one of the number of available axis control features,
- at least one of the number of available axis control modes associated with each of the at least one of the number of available axis control features,
- at least one of the number of available axis control parameters associated with each of the at least one of the number of available axis control modes, and
- acceptable values for each of the at least one of the number of available axis control parameters;
- and
- the inference unit being configured for automatically inferring, in accordance with the factual knowledge, the new output facts associated with the new input facts, if the new input facts represent interpolations or extrapolations of some of the known input facts.
A method of operating a system for tuning of axis control of a multi-axis machine, comprising:
- acquiring and maintaining factual knowledge associated with the tuning of the axis control,
- the factual knowledge having a uniform ontology and a uniform data representation, and
- the factual knowledge having known input facts associated with known output facts;
- and
- automatically inferring new output facts associated with given new input facts in accordance with the factual knowledge;
- the output facts respectively including:
- at least one of the number of available axis control features,
- at least one of the number of available axis control modes associated with each of the at least one of the number of available axis control features,
- at least one of the number of available axis control parameters associated with each of the at least one of the number of available axis control modes, and
- acceptable values for each of the at least one of the number of available axis control parameters;
- and
- the inference unit being configured for automatically inferring, in accordance with the factual knowledge, the new output facts associated with the new input facts, if the new input facts represent interpolations or extrapolations of some of the known input facts.
