Abstract
1462515 Automatic control GERBER SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT CO 16 April 1974 [20 April 1973 9 July 1973] 16463/74 Heading G3N A graphic plotting system consists of a drawing table 42, a carriage 48 movable over the table, a cursor 46 mounted on but movable relative to the carriage, means for detecting displacement of the cursor relative to the carriage, and means responsive to the detection to drive the carriage so as to eliminate the cursor-carriage displacement, whereby the carriage automatically follows the cursor. Electric signals representing such carriage displacements may be fed to a computer 32 which can subsequently or simultaneously command the same or another like carriage to reproduce the displacements. Hence an operator can make the cursor follow a sketch drawing and a pen or pens 49 on the carriage or carriages can automatically produce one or more precise drawings. In Fig. 2, the carriage 48 is movable in the Y direction along a member which is itself supported at its ends by carriages 50 conjointly movable in the X direction. The cursor 46 is mounted on a plate which has a pivotal connection 112, Fig. 3, with a member 416 Fig. 8 (not shown) which is itself pivotally mounted on the carriage 48. Hence the cursor can move a limited distance in the XY plane. The member 416 carries, at its end opposite the cursor, a 4-quadrant photosensor 110 exposed to a light source 118 which is fixed relative to the carriage 48. The outputs from the quadrants Q1- Q4 are used to establish X and Y co-ordinates of sensor-carriage displacement in the form of X and Y outputs which drive the carriages 50 and 48 and which may also be registered in a computer 32. The carriage-driving signals may be fed directly from the cursor circuit 60 as shown in Fig. 2, or via the computer. In either case, the computer may control one or more further drawing tables. A multipletable system, linked to a common computer, may have, at some of the input stations, an electronic cursor system in which a mechanical cursor 203 Fig. 9 (not shown) can be moved over the screen of a CRT 202 Fig. 6 (not shown) on which an XY grid is displayed, the cursor movements being detected by X and Y transducers whose outputs are fed to the computer for use as control data for the drawing table or tables of the system.
