Latest Patents
Sagara's latest patents include a "Machine controller and process with two-step interpolation." This innovative controller is designed to perform acceleration and deceleration control by applying an optimal tangential acceleration within the allowable maximum acceleration for each axis. The first interpolation section receives data from a command analysis section and performs interpolating calculations during each first sampling period, outputting results into an intermediate memory. A tangential acceleration calculating section determines the tangential acceleration based on each segment and the allowable maximum acceleration for each axis, also outputting this data into the intermediate memory. Furthermore, a deceleration target velocity calculating section prepares an acceleration/deceleration pattern for multiple segments stored in the intermediate memory. The acceleration/deceleration control section then executes control based on this data, ensuring that the tangential velocity at the end of each segment does not exceed the deceleration target velocity. Finally, a second interpolation section defines a smooth curve based on the output from the acceleration/deceleration control section and the data retrieved from the intermediate memory, providing a point on the smooth curve for each second sampling period.
