Numerical Controls and Motion Planning
Numerically controlled machines, such as machine tools and robots, are an essential part of a variety of applications in modern production lines. Beside interaction with the user, numerical control units are used to perform complex movements of the machine. For the latter, motion planning and trajectory generation play a crucial role. For each individual drive, the movement is planned in advance to obtain a coordinated overall motion of the machine.

Measurement of movements in micrometer range
Complex challenges in motion control of multi-axis production systems are made accessible by realistic laboratory experiments. XY-tables with modern machine tool control units and extended precision sensor technology are available for educational purposes. This allows to detect even smallest deviations down to micrometers from the desired movement in space - thereby enabling an in-depth, fundamental understanding how the accuracy on production machines can be affected.
Motion sequence programming
The motion sequence can be programmed by the user. During the practical training, different programming and operating concepts are studied and applied in practice.
