Abstract

1,229,478. Positioning systems. GERBER SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT CO. 10 Sept., 1968, No. 42994/68. Heading G4H. The movement, of, for example, the pen of a two dimensional plotter, is controlled by determining the instantaneous actual position of the pen and comparing it with an instantaneous desired position to generate an error signal used to correct the movement. The plotter may be of the kind having two screw drives (62, 64) at right angles to position the pen head (60) (Fig. 6, not shown). Each drive is driven by a motor M. The plotter is arranged to plot a curve y=f(x); values of x and the function f are supplied by input circuits 41. From the inputs a slope computer 42 derives values for #x and #y representing the instantaneous slope of the curve. These values #x, #y are employed as datum levels for closed loop speed control systems for the motors M which drive tachogenerators T. The instantaneous actual positions x a , Ya of the pen are detected at E and indicated on binary registers 39, 40. The value x a is used to generate a value f(x a ) representing the desired instantaneous value of y and this is compared with y a in a subtractor 52 which generates a position error signal V e used as a datum level for a closed loop speed control for a correcting motor M c . The motions of the y-deflection motor M and the correcting motor M c are added by a mechanical differential gear D coupled to the y-axis drive. The motors M are high speed, high torque type with relatively poor control while motor M c is of low torque type with precise control such as a stepping motor (90) (Fig. 6, not shown). In a modified system (Fig. 6, not shown), in which the plotted curve is a series of straight line elements, the input circuits supply only values xf, y f representing the position of the curve at the end of each element; the value of the function/is computed from these values. The output of the subtractor (52) controls a gate (86) feeding pulses to a stepping motor (90). In another modification (Fig. 8, not shown) a ramp generator is employed to provide smooth stopping and starting of the drive motors M. The correcting motor Mc and differential gear D may be arranged in either one of the drives 35, 36. In a further modification (Fig. 9, not shown) both drives are provided with correcting motors (90, 166) and differentials and the appropriate one is used to correct the drive according to whether the x or y displacement is greater.
