Abstract: A critical resonant frequency (fres) of the axes of a moving machine element is damped as effectively as possible with the aid of a jerk limitation. Good damping in the case of a desired frequency is achieved when the longest possible time (TrLim) which can be traveled with a maximum permissible jerk (rLim) is selected such that 1/TrLim coincides with the lowest natural frequency (fres) of the participating axes. This finding is implemented by adapting the path dynamics such that the TrLim=aMax/rLim yielded by the prescribed dynamics limiting values is varied by reducing the maximum jerk (rLim) to achieve good damping results for the lowest natural frequency (fres) of the participating axes.

Abstract: The goal of the invention is to dampen as effectively as possible a critical resonant frequency (fres) of the axes of a moving machine element with the aid of a jerk limitation. Good damping in the case of a desired frequency is achieved when the longest possible time (TrLim) which can be traveled with a maximum permissible jerk (rLim) is selected such that 1/TrLim coincides with the lowest natural frequency (fres) of the participating axes. The present invention attempts to convert this finding by adapting the path dynamics by virtue of the fact that the TrLim=aMax/rLim yielded by the prescribed dynamics limiting values is varied by reducing the maximum jerk (rLim) such that good damping results for the lowest natural frequency (fres) of the participating axes.

Abstract: Standard, existing position measuring systems are used to determine and optimize operating accuracy. For this, in a positional measurement, path information on any desired number of axes is sampled over a predefinable measuring interval and stored. The acquired data are converted and prepared using signal processing measures, enabling conclusions to be drawn about the actual operating accuracy and about causes of inaccuracies.
