Calculate an elliptic spline for a pick and place movement.

Description

The function block provides different methods to calculate an elliptic spline for a pick and place movement.

Methods

Name

Description

CalcFullSpline

Calculates a full elliptic spline. The apex is optimized automatically.

CalcFullSplineUserApex

Calculates a full elliptic spline. You can define the apex.

CalcHalfSpline

Calculates a half elliptic spline.

SetWorkingPlane

In case of a two-dimensional robot, set its working plane with this method.

CalcSplineExtended

Calculates spline points of an elliptic spline.
