Synchronization of single axis to an axes groupΒΆ

This is an example of a single axis (as slave) synchronized to an axes group (master). The master follows its path and the slave is linked to the position, velocity, acceleration, or any other magnitude of the master. An example is glue dispensing, where the amount of glue to be dispensed is coupled to the velocity of the TCP of the robot. The single axis slave motor movement of the glue dispenser is coupled to the trajectory of the TCP of the group over the surface of the object via MC_AxisFollowGroup. Alternatively, if the position information is not critical, one can use MC_GroupReadActualVelocity, perhaps combined with a gearing factor, and thus providing the input to the motor of the glue dispenser.
