Abstract
Machine tools are designed using dual-stage feed drives with slow and fast stages when speed and accuracy must be delivered over large work-volume. The slow stage provides large-stroke positioning whereas the fast stage executes short-stroke accurate tool-tip placement. This paper presents a real-time trajectory generator (governor) that distributes reference motion commands so that coordinated high-speed dual-stage contouring motion can be realized. A novel dynamic command scaling (DCS) approach is developed to generate trajectories in real-time that fully utilize the stroke (range), velocity, acceleration and dynamic limits of the dual-stages drives. Demonstration in 2D laser patterning shows >2 times increase in productivity.
