Look Ahead White Paper
Lookahead allows the PMAC to investigate the coming motion profile and analyze the accelerations, decelerations, and velocities that the machine can run to optimize machine cycle while continuing to c...
Manufacturers are always looking to keep efficiencies as high as possible. This normally includes maintaining the maximum production capabilities of the machine while still producing a high-quality product. One of the ways to achieve the highest throughput is to use a PMAC motion controller and a feature called Lookahead. This white paper explores this feature in detail and offers some examples of solutions that use it.
Topics include:
- What is Lookahead?
- What technologies support Lookahead?
- Examples of solutions using Lookahead
