METHOD FOR THE SYNCHRONISED OPERATION OF MACHINES HAVING AXES ACTUATED BY SINGLE DRIVES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the synchronised operation of machines comprising a plurality of axes (102, 110, 111). Said axes (102, 110, 111) are actuated by means of a respective associated single drive (103) in a synchronised manner according to an electronic, chronological control axis function which corresponds to a momentary position of a control axis L. The movements of a plurality of guided axes (102, 110, 111) according to translation functions corresponding to respectively predetermined, mechanical translations (106, 107, 108, 109) in relation to the control axis L are derived from said control axis L in order to improve upon said method. According to the invention, it is possible to adjust a large number of axes and ensure easy operation, requiring only a relatively small amount of apparatus by making all axes (102) of at least one group (117) of axes corresponding to each other with respect to mechanical translation (106, 107, 108, 109) follow an electronic, chronological sequential control function which corresponds to a momentary position of a sequential axis F and which is formed by combining the relative translation and control axis functions.
