Multi-Axis Coordinated Move
Many applications require moving two or more axes in a coordinated move yet still require smooth motion at the
same time. These applications are ideal candidates for PVT mode.
In this example we will have a 2 dimensional stage that needs to follow a specific profile. The application requires
that the certain points be met however the path between points is not important. Smooth motion between points
is critical.
The resultant DMC program is shown below. The position points are dictated by the application requirements and
the velocities and times were chosen to create smooth yet quick motion. For example, in the second segment the B
axis is slowed to 0 at the end of the move in anticipation of reversing direction during the next segment.
