    摘要: A plasma cutting system for measuring or monitoring the voltage between a plasma torch and the material being cut to determine a voltage or voltage signature and comparing that measurement against predetermined values to indicate that an initial pierce of the material is complete, and based on the measurement, moving the torch or the material to a different location for additional cutting. The system further provides a Fix Drawing Tool, which will automatically detect and fix gaps or overlaps in a drawing that are very difficult to find visually. These gaps and overlaps become a problem when trying to make a proper toolpath because a CAM program requires a clean, closed shape. The system also provides a Dynamic Corner Looping system, which automatically adjusts with the feed-rate and accelerations of the toolpath and plasma machine, eliminates unwanted dross, sharpens corners and minimizes material loss. A pendant tethering system is also disclosed for managing control of a CNC machine remotely. Additional disclosed functionality includes a data collection system, a manual hand wheel with 3D simulation and a multiple fabrication head management system.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a method for carrying out a test run on a test stand. The method in some embodiments reduces a deviation between a comparison simulation value and a comparison reference value when carrying out a test run on a test stand with a test object by simulating via a simulation unit a number of simulation values using a number of specified reference values starting from a selected reference value, determining a corrected reference value which is specified to the simulation unit for simulating a corrected simulation value and determining at least one setpoint variable using the corrected simulation value.

    摘要: A control device of a machine tool receives a target machining, in accordance with which a workpiece should be machined by a tool of the machine tool. The control device also receives via a human-machine interface or via an interface to an external memory device a selection, a parameterization and/or a specification of a sequence of predefined rules, which define the manner in which the machining of the workpiece should be modified in the event of undesired vibrations during machining. When undesired vibrations do not occur, as determined from acquired sensor signals, machining is carried out in accordance with the target machining. When undesired vibrations occur, the machining is modified in accordance with the rules, wherein the control device selects the rules in accordance with the selection, parameterizes the rules in accordance with the parameterization and/or carries out the rules in accordance with the specified sequence.

    摘要: The objective of the present invention is to display a correspondence relationship between a specific location in a machining program and specific position in a machining trajectory in such a way as to be immediately understandable, in a display device capable of simultaneously displaying the machining program and the machining trajectory. Acquired position data of a tool, and a character string from a machining program are saved in association with one another, a part of interest of a displayed tool machining trajectory is selected, and a program block comprising a character string from the machining program associated with the selected part of the machining trajectory is selected and is displayed on the displayed machining program, thereby making the relationship between the operation of the tool and the machining program more readily understandable.

    摘要: A movable gantry system is described. In an example, the movable gantry system is configured to interface with jigs of different types or sizes and/or with different positions of a same jig and/or to perform operations on different parts mounted in such jigs. To do so, the movable gantry system includes an end effector, a gantry, and a computing system. The end effector is mounted within the gantry and provides at least rotational movement to perform operations on a part. The gantry is movable and interfaces with a jig holding the part. Further, the gantry provides translational movement to the end effector. The computing system identifies the gantry and the part and controls the gantry and the end effector, thereby facilitating the operations on the part.
