Abstract:

A cutting system that utilizes an inertial sensor to control movement of a cutting device is provided. The system includes a cutting device for cutting operation, a controller, and at least one inertial sensor. The controller controls movement of the cutting device during cutting operation. The inertial sensor(s) is included in an inertial data module coupled to the cutting device and communicates inertial measurement data to the controller. The controller controls movement of the cutting device based on the inertial measurement data from the inertial sensor(s).

Abstract:

The invention described herein generally pertains to proportional jog controls for a controller of a machining apparatus. The jog controls generate a variable signal proportional to a degree to which the jog controls are engaged by an operator. The controller, in turn, generates a motor drive signal proportional to the variable signal from the jog controls. Accordingly, the operator can jog the machining apparatus at a variable feed rate based on the degree of engagement with the jog controls which allows fine jogging control near a terminus of a jog operation.
