  • Patent number: 10551820
    Abstract: A method for calculating an optimized trajectory via a simulation program and an optimization routine, wherein the trajectory is provided via the simulation program and adapted to boundary conditions, where the method includes a loop in which, as individual steps, a first trajectory is provided, a further trajectory, and the adaptation of the further trajectory is modified based on the boundary conditions, such that the optimized trajectory is a trajectory which has been provided based on an extremal or predetermined parameter, where the optimized trajectory is provided after the calculation by a control device for moving a holder for a component, and where at least one component and the production machine are displayed in a 3D display.

  • Patent number: 9874868
    Abstract: A method for calculating an optimized trajectory with a simulation program and an optimization routine includes making available a trajectory and adjusting it to boundary conditions, implementing a loop having the steps of a provision of one first trajectory, a modification of a (further) trajectory and adjustment of the (further) trajectory on the basis of boundary conditions, using as the optimized trajectory a trajectory which has been made available on the basis of an extremal or predetermined parameter, and, after being calculated, making available the optimized trajectory to a control device in order to move a holder for a component part.

  • Patent number: 8666533
    Abstract: A system, method, machine-readable medium for accurate simulation of automated machinery. A method includes loading a machine operating model. The method also includes receiving machine-specific data from an automated machinery controller. The method also includes simulating a machine operation using the machine-specific data and the machine operating model to produce optimized motion data. The method includes transmitting the optimized data to the automated machinery controller by the simulation data processing system.
