  • Method for synchronized operation of machines having axes actuated by single drives
    Patent number: 6914402
    Abstract: In a method for operating machines (138) with a plurality of shafts (102, 110, 111), in which the shafts (102, 110, 111) are each driven, synchronized with one another, by individual drive mechanisms (103) belonging to them, in accordance with an electronic, chronological guide shaft function, which corresponds to an instantaneous position of a guide shaft L, and the motions of a plurality of derived shafts (102, 110, 111) are derived from the guide shaft L in accordance with conversion functions that correspond to respective predetermined mechanical conversions (106, 107, 108, 109) with respect to the guide shaft L, it is proposed, in order to improve the method in such a way that—particularly when there is a large number of shafts to be regulated—simple startup at comparatively little expense for equipment is permitted, that all the shafts (102) of at least one group (117) of shafts, which correspond to one another in terms of the conversion (106, 107, 108, 109), obey an electronic, chronological following
