Operating-cycle synchronized engagement and disengagement of servo axle groups by means of electronically simulated cam disks

A system for disengaging and engaging a servo axle group to be synchronized electronically with a master position value sequence comprising:

• a plurality of axle group control modules, each module having a number of switchable inputs;
• means for providing an input to said axle group control module for a master axle value sequence which represents actual values from a master axis;
• at least one disengagement and engagement unit, which has engagement and disengagement correlations stored in a memory, of master position values present at the input and servo axle group reference values assigned to these in each case, and which is designed in such a way that using these correlations, disengagement and re-engagement of a servo axle group are carried out in such a way that, following engagement, there is synchronization of angle and/or position of the servo axle group with the master position value sequence and that, following the completion of the re-engagement, operating cycles executed by the servo axle group during the processing of a product are shifted with respect to operating cycles of a master axle that outputs the master position value sequence by one or more complete operating cycles of the master axle;
• and
• an output unit for transmitting servo axle group reference values, determined on the basis of the correlations to he servo axle group.
