Event-based Motion Study

In this tutorial, you examine an event-based motion study of a welding robot.

Event-based motion requires a set of tasks. The tasks can be sequential or can overlap in time. Each task is defined by a triggering event and its associated task action. Task actions control or define motion during the task.

This motion study is set up for the following tasks:
  • Task 1: Use a position sensor to stop the motion of a plate at a given location after .01 seconds.
  • Tasks 2-4: Turn on three displacement servo motors. Each servo motor is set to move in one of the three spatial directions.
  • Task 5: Activate the servo motors to move the robot to its welding X, Y, Z position.
  • Task 6: Begin welding when the robot is in position.
  • Task 7: Activate the servo motors to move the robot back to its original position.
You must have a SolidWorks Simulation Professional license and you must add in SolidWorks Motion to run this tutorial.
  1. Opening the Model
    First, you open the model and examine some components.
  2. Viewing Motor and Sensor Parameters
    Next, you examine values for the motors and the sensor in this study.
  3. Viewing Trigger and Control Actions
    Next, you open the Trigger and Action dialog boxes to better understand the event-triggered motion setup.
  4. Calculating the Motion
    Next, you calculate the event-triggered robot motion.
  5. Changing the Linear Motor Speed
    Next, you duplicate the study and change the linear motor speed.
  6. Changing the Servo Motor Profile
    Next, you calculate the motion after changing the profile of the servo motor displacement.
