  • Controller for a lifting device, and method for operating same
    Patent number: 11577939
    Abstract: A controller controls a plurality of drives of a lifting device, wherein the controller is configured to perform a kinematic transformation of spatial position and orientation coordinates of a body and controls the drives based on the kinematic transformation. The drives can be electric drives. At least six drives are provided and regulated, so that their number exceeds the number of spatial position and orientation coordinates of the body. The lifting device is thus overdetermined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 4, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2023
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Marco Bock, Uwe Ladra, Fabian Lorz
  • Method for optimizing movement profiles, method for providing movement profiles, control device, system and computer program product
    Patent number: 11173680
    Abstract: A control device, a system and methods for optimizing and providing movement profiles, wherein the movement profiles serve for determining the movement of tools of a press and the movement of a receiving element for a workpiece of a transfer system, where transfer movement profiles are synchronized with one another via press movement profiles, the synchronization of the transfer movement profiles particularly occurs by chronologically shifting synchronization points via boundary conditions such that an offset of the press movement profiles can be determined via the synchronization, so that the workpiece can be processed as quickly as possible through the system.
