In many production processes, every millisecond counts. At the same time, high speeds when moving elastic components often lead to undesirable vibrations – with negative effects on cycle time, process stability and component load. In conventional robot control systems, the elastic properties of these components are usually not taken into account.

This project shows how vibrations can be actively avoided by integrating a simplified physical model into the trajectory planning. Using the example of a highly elastic beam, it is demonstrated how a low-vibration trajectory is generated and then automatically translated into control code for the robot. A standardized functional mock-up unit (FMU) can also be exported for virtual commissioning in order to test the control behavior in advance in a simulation environment.

This enables shorter cycle times, reduced vibrations and more efficient production.
