A motion system and method of managing health of the motion system uses exclusively motion variables used by a servo drive of the motion system to calculate at least one health indication value for the motion system. The health indication value is used to generate a notification for maintenance of the motion system.

The interference monitoring device comprises: an advanced position calculation unit that calculates an advanced position of the tool or the workpiece ahead by a predetermined period of time based on the program; an interference check unit that draws an estimated shape of a machined part of the workpiece after machining based on the advanced position, and makes the interference check based on the estimated shape of the machined part of the workpiece in the drawing; and an uncut region calculation unit that calculates an error between the estimated shape of the machined part of the workpiece in the drawing and an actual shape of the machined part of the workpiece after machining as an uncut region in the estimated shape of the machined part of the workpiece in the drawing. The interference check unit does not make the interference check in the uncut region.

The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for controlling the relative positions or phasing of advancing substrates and/or components in absorbent article converting lines. The systems and methods may utilize feedback from technologies, such as vision systems, sensors, remote input and output stations, and controllers with synchronized embedded clocks to accurately correlate component placement detections and placement control on an absorbent article converting process. The systems and methods may accurately apply the use of precision clock synchronization for both instrumentation and control system devices on a non-deterministic communications network. In turn, the clock synchronized control and instrumentation network may be used to control the substrate position. As such, the controller may be programmed to the relative positions of substrates and components along the converting line without having to account for undeterminable delays.

A method for implementing machining operations for a workpiece. Pre-existing hole locations for temporary fasteners in the workpiece requiring a clamp-up force for performing the machining operations to form holes in the workpiece is identified. A set of the pre-existing hole locations is determined from the pre-existing hole locations that results in an optimal path for performing the machining operations on the workpiece taking into account clamp-up force specifications for the workpiece. The optimal path has a near-minimum distance. An ordered sequence for performing the machining operations to form the holes at hole locations is determined that has the optimal path. Robotic control files that causes robotic devices to perform the machining operations using the optimal path is created. The robotic devices are operated using the robotic control files to form the holes in the ordered sequence using the optimal path that takes into account the clamp-up force specifications.
