20130268226 | System and Method for Error Correction for CNC Machines - A method of determining a positioning error of a CNC machine is provided and an system thereof. A calibration element is placed within the CNC machine. A first sensor reading is taken of the calibration element. A second sensor reading is taken and the sensor is moved in a manner that the difference between the first and second sensor data decreases until the difference becomes less or equal to a pre-determined threshold value. A positioning error of the tool head is determined based on the movement of the sensor. | 10-10-2013 |
20130121701 | OPTICALLY-CONNECTED SYSTEM FOR EXCHANGING DATA AMONG INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION DEVICES - An optically-connected system is disclosed for exchanging data among industrial automation devices, that is composed of a plurality of connection elements, where each element comprises at least two pairs of optical transmitters and receivers on the main side, and one optical receiver on the opposing main side, that are opposite with respect to another pair of transmitters and receivers in a following element; and where each one of the transmitters and receivers is adapted to communicate with industrial automation devices to cooperate for exchanging data between elements, sending one interrogation signal requesting an identity of the receiver and the receiver is adapted to send to each corresponding response signal containing characteristics of the receiver. | 05-16-2013 |
20120290122 | PREDICTIVE CONTROL AND VIRTUAL DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR A NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED MACHINE TOOL - A numerically controlled machine tool, and method for control thereof, to display virtual two-dimensional future positions to be adopted by a workpiece and by the machine tool in a pre-set predictive time window. The system and method calculate target coordinate values defining positions of the tool along axes of the machine tool on the basis of a machining program. While machining is in progress, a processor receives the calculated target coordinate values to generate and display image data on the basis of the target coordinate values and of stored mathematical models of the machine, of the workpiece, and of the tool. | 11-15-2012 |
20120269518 | OPTICALLY-CONNECTED SYSTEM FOR EXCHANGING DATA AMONG INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION DEVICES - An optically-connected system is disclosed for exchanging data among industrial automation devices, that is composed of a plurality of connection modules, where each module comprises at least two pairs of optical transmitters and receivers on the main side, and one optical receiver on the opposing main side, that are opposite with respect to another pair of transmitters and receivers in a following module; and where each one of the transmitters and receivers is adapted to communicate with industrial automation devices to cooperate for exchanging data between modules, sending one interrogation signal requesting an identity of the module and the receiver is adapted to send to each corresponding response signal containing characteristics of the receiver. | 10-25-2012 |
20110218668 | METHOD FOR MOVING A TOOL OF A CNC MACHINE OVER A SURFACE - A method for moving a tool of a CNC machine over a surface, wherein the CNC machine is provided with a sensor unit, comprising the steps of: (a) moving the tool over the surface in a predetermined direction and/or with a predetermined velocity and/or along a predetermined path, (b) treating the surface by the tool in accordance with a predetermined value of a treatment parameter, (c) determining, by the sensor unit, a response value indicating a response of the tool to treating the surface and/or to being pressed to the surface, and (d) determining a new direction and/or a new velocity and/or a new path and/or a new value for the treatment parameter based on the response value. | 09-08-2011 |
