Energy optimisation on MultiDECO and MultiAlpha

It will be necessary to go back a little in time to understand the usefulness of this function.

What user of conventional multi-spindle machines does not keep at the back of his mind the fact that a roller, cam or other machine element suffers premature wear ?

Nowadays, this type of problem is quite unknown with the MultiDECO. However, we must be aware that the ongoing research into optimum output again puts the smoothing of inputs and retractions on the agenda. Axis dynamics is such that the use of ENERGY OPTIMISATION leads to substantial savings by keeping those components forming the kinematic chain of axes (i.e. belts, bearings, ball screws etc.) in tip-top condition.

It goes without saying that optimisation would only be of interest for a restricted number of positions and where production runs involve several weeks. Its use must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Example: 

We can see that EO only becomes effective during retraction. To slow down the input rate, we program a feed in mm/t, so as to balance out input and output.
