6-Axis Sinusodial Motion

Submitted by Osvaldo on Mon, 09/19/2016 - 11:22

I have a six axis motion controller (DMC-4163) running six separate motors with encoders. I want to be able to run each motor at at a difference frequency and amplitude. I can get each one individually to work, but can't get all six do run simultaneously. Can you help me figure this out? I can run each sine motion in a separate thread.

Hi Osvaldo,
It would probably be best to switch to a different mode of motion for this. Contour or PVT would probably be better. Depending on the application's details, PVT might be better in the long run as each axis has its own buffer. If you need help integrating it, or discussing more about the specifics of your application and which one is better, please let me know. You can email support@galil.com and mention at the top "Forward to Andrew", or you can call in and ask for me.

Regards,
Andrew
