Patent ID: 7030586

Claim:
Method for co-ordinating and synchronizing the movement of servo-assisted axes for electronic control systems using specific commands comprising dividing the global motion of said axes into elementary movements of each individual axis, the first of said axes comprising a master axis which is a real or virtual reference point and having a slave axis which is related solely to the motion of said master axis through a corresponding table identified as a cam table which comprises a plurality of lines identified as sectors in each of which the position must be taken up by each slave axis which is related to every position of said master axis, said method comprising providing inside said sectors of said cam table, the position relationships, the virtual laws of motion which bind said master axis and each of said slave axes together are described; in that said laws are carried out through the use of a special code comprising a plurality of operating instructions associated with position incremental information defined for said master axis and for each of said individual slave axes, for determining a direct association between the reference point of said master axis and the corresponding incremental space of said slave axes.
