Latest Patents
One of Westermeyer's latest patents is titled "Processes and devices for computer-aided adaptation of an application program for a machine tool." This invention describes a method where a sequence of control commands for feed axes of the machine tool defines a contour to be traveled by a tool relative to a workpiece. A computer analyzes these control commands to determine sequential instructions for a round axle of the machine tool, ensuring it accurately tracks the contour while managing angular or curvature discontinuities. Another significant patent is the "Method and device for controlling a tool feed." This invention allows for a directly programmable tool feeding speed profile, which can be defined as linear, polynomial, or cubic. It ensures that feeding speed minimums are adhered to, even when the predefined feeding speed profile exceeds the admissible axis dynamics.
