    Abstract: In the following, a method for synchronizing the motion sequences of at least two robots will be described. In accordance with one embodiment, the method comprises the following: During operation of a robot cell having at least two robots, a path parameter is regularly calculated for each of the at least two robots based on a current position of the respective robot and on a previously specified robot path of the respective robot. The path parameter represents the current position of the robot. Subsequently, a run-ahead limit is calculated for each robot based on the path parameters determined for the respective other robots. Based on the respective calculated run-ahead limit, the path speed of every robot can be adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20180308468
    Abstract: Noise and vibration sensing includes generating with an acceleration sensor a sense signal representative of the acceleration that acts on the acceleration sensor, and processing the sense signal to provide a processed sense signal having an adjustable signal bandwidth and an adjustable signal dynamic. The signal bandwidth extends between a lowest frequency and a highest frequency of the sense signal, and the signal dynamic is the ratio between a maximum amplitude of the sense signal and an output noise floor generated by the acceleration sensor. Noise and vibration sensing further includes adjusting the signal bandwidth and the signal dynamic in accordance with a control signal so that the signal bandwidth increases when the signal dynamic decreases and vice versa.
