Highly Reactive

In order to allow robots and machines to make efficient use of sensors, motion control systems need to be fed with command variables on-the-fly. Traditional motion generation methods  fail because they cannot compute trajectories from arbitrary initial states while taking into account the actual dynamic capabilities of robots and machines.

  

Motion Generation

The Reflexxes Motion Libraries contain algorithms to deterministically compute motion trajectories instantaneously. This highly reactive concept with worst-case computation times in the range of microseconds opens the door to new applications in robotics, CNC machining, and servo drive control systems. No other concept is more efficient.

  

Features

Highly reactive robots and machines: instantaneous changes from sensor-guided to trajectory following control; deterministic reactions to sensor events and sensor failures; instantaneously changing reference frames; simple and robust visual servo control; online synchronization of electrical motors; interruptible motion primitives.

Nov. 14, 2013 New Product: KPA Motion — A Joint Development with koenig-pa
KPA Motion combines the best of two worlds: high-performance EtherCAT® communication and Reflexxes online motion generation. Designed for servo-drive control and CNC machining applications, KPA Motion opens the door to new features for sensor-based motion control offering response times of less than 250 microseconds. For demonstrations, please visit us at our booth at SPS/IPC Drives in Nürnberg, Germany, from November 26–28, 2013 (hall 6, booth 140).
                 
Nov. 13, 2013 Journal Article in computer-automation: “Trajektorien online berechnen” (in German)
In a tight collaboration with koenig-pa, we introduce KPA Motion and describe new features of motion control systems that have not been possible before. A simple CNC drilling application is used as an example to demonstrate the advantages of highly responsive sensor-based motion control based on the Reflexxes Motion Libraries.
