Triple-Harmonic Motion-Law

Motion Description

The Triple-Harmonic Motion-Law is a Traditional Motion-Law.

It can approximate the Cycloidal, Modified-Trapezoidal, Modified Sine, Polynomial 3-4-5 motion-laws by using the Segment-Parameters

Motion-Values

You CAN control the:

Start Position

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

End Position

You CANNOT control the:

Start Velocity and End Velocity

Start Acceleration and End Acceleration

Start Jerk and End Jerk

Segment Parameters

MT-CamLaw-TripleHarmonic-SegParameters

Three Segment-Parameters:

Red-14-1 First Harmonic

Red-14-2 Second Harmonic

Red-14-3 Third Harmonic (calculated automatically from First Harmonic and Second Harmonic)

Segment-Range

End- Range

0 ≤ Start-Range < End-Range ≤ 1
TRIPLE HARMONIC 1st Harmonic = 4.983 ; 2nd Harmonic = 2.6 ; 3rd Harmonic = 0
