Resonance Detection And Resolution

View page
US Patent:
60284102, Feb 22, 2000
Filed:
Jan 11, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/228312
Inventors:
Paul J. Leavitt - Minneapolis MN
James W. Comb - Hamel MN
Edward Rapoport - Minneapolis MN
Assignee:
Stratasys, Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
G06F 1546
G05B 1942
US Classification:
31856815
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for controlling following error in a robotic system that moves a tool at a velocity along a path defined by an inputted set of vertices. The following error is controlled to be less than a tolerable error allowance. First, a subset of resonant vertices is identified from the inputted set of vertices. Each of the resonant vertices has a neighboring vertex for which a following error that results when the tool negotiates both the vertex and its neighboring vertex at an assigned vertex velocity might exceed the tolerable error allowance. Second, each vertex in the subset of resonant vertices is assigned a reduced vertex velocity. The reduced vertex velocity is selected so that the following error that results when the tool negotiates both the vertex and its neighboring vertex at the reduced velocities is less than the tolerable error allowance.

US Patent:
6054077, Apr 25, 2000
Filed:
Jan 11, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/228095
Inventors:
James W. Comb - Hamel MN
Paul J Leavitt - Minneapolis MN
Edward Rapoport - Minneapolis MN
Assignee:
Stratasys, Inc.
International Classification:
B29C 4102
B29C 4152
B29C 4792
US Classification:
264 407
Abstract:
An apparatus has an extrusion head for extruding a bead of a liquified material at an extruded pump flow rate, an extrusion head motor for driving the extrusion head at a variable head velocity, a pump for providing liquified material to the extrusion head, and a control for providing control signals to both the extrusion head motor and the pump. The control signals control operation of the extrusion head and the pump so that the head velocity is slaved to an estimated profile of the extruded pump flow rate divided by a predetermined bead cross-sectional area.
