| description | Apart from improving motion accuracy, increasing productivity while reducing computer numerical control machine tools' carbon footprint is vital in the manufacturing industry. Several studies have proposed corner smoothing methods that improve cycle time for piecewise linear paths by exploiting axial limits to achieve time-optimal trajectories. Energy-saving is not considered an objective in these methods. This paper presents a method of generating Pareto optimal corner smoothing trajectories that trade-off the contradicting objectives of minimizing cycle time and energy consumption. The trajectories along linear paths and smoothed corners are respectively described using jerk limited acceleration profiles and kinematic corner smoothing methods. An energy consumption model of an industrial two-axis feed drive system is identified and used in solving the bi-objective optimization problem. From the resulting Pareto frontier, the best trade-off trajectory is selected as the one that minimizes both objectives. The proposed method's effectiveness is vindicated experimentally, where the best trade-off trajectory achieves respectively 65.87 % and 60.44 % of the time and energy-saving potentials. |
