Optimization case 4 – y-axis is the master axis, y-axis is in lowering mode

Initial situation: tyVmax >  txVmax

The y-axis is the master axis because its travel time is longer than that of the x-axis due to a longer travel distance and the dynamic parameters.

The y-axis is in lowering mode.

Optimization parameters: tyVmax = txVadjusted

The y-axis starts immediately and is operated with the maximum dynamic parameters to achieve the required cycle time. The x-axis also starts immediately but travels at a reduced speed.

The speed of the x-axis is calculated so that the x-axis completes its travel motion when the y-axis begins to decelerate.

Energy saving:

As the speed of the x-axis is reduced, this axis uses less energy. The energy generated by lowering the y-axis is made available to the x-axis.
