Polynomial 4-5-6-7 Motion-Law

Polynomial 4-5-6-7 Cam-Law, Motion-Law

Motion Description

A Traditional Motion-Law.  Its name is often reduced to Poly-4567.

A motion with continuous Velocity and Acceleration, from start to end. The Jerk is finite at its start and end. It has finite Jerk throughout.

It has a high maximum-velocity, high maximum-acceleration, high crossover jerk.  Only the Modified-Trapezoidal (of those with finite Jerk) has a greater crossover jerk.

At the start and end of this Motion-Law, the Y-axis does not change very much with a significant X–axis change - e.g. 0.02% Y-axis with 5% X-axis change.

Therefore, to accurately reproduce this segment, it needs precise machining, a large cam, or an encoder with a high resolution.

If possible, increase the segment-width to reduce its maximum Velocity, Acceleration and Jerk values.

Motion-Values

You CAN specify the:

Start Position

The Start-Position usually flows from the End-Position of the Previous-Segment.

End Position

You CANNOT specify the:

Start Velocity & End Velocity

Start Acceleration & End Acceleration

Start Jerk & End Jerk

Segment Parameters

None

Segment-Range

None

Application Notes

Dynamic Performance:

This Motion-Law is recommended in applications where the period ratio is between about 5 and 10.

Pressure Angle Considerations

This has a relatively large maximum-acceleration and maximum velocity, which will increase the maximum pressure-angle.

Drive Torques

It has a high peak torque.
