Solution Overview

Problem

The assembly of tool machines is time-consuming and inefficient due to the need for actual motion testing and calibration, which is required to account for variations in element quality and performance, despite being manufactured in the same batch.

Innovation Solution

A tool machine servo control simulation device and method that converts time-domain position, velocity, and torque information into frequency-domain data to calculate position and velocity functions, which are then combined with a drive property parameter to simulate the dynamic trajectory of the tool machine, allowing for efficient computer-based simulation without actual testing.
