Claims
- 1. A method for operating a conveyor drive for a conveyor independently of a drive for a press station serviced by the conveyor, the method comprising:
generating a position signal related to an operating position of said press station; providing said position signal to a motor controller for operating said conveyor drive; determining a drive profile for operating said conveyor drive based on said position signal; and applying said drive profile to said conveyor drive to operate said conveyor drive, wherein said conveyor drive is operated in synchronization with said press station.
- 2. A method according to claim 21, further comprising determining at least one of a duration and amplitude of one or more parameters in said drive profile in relation to said position signal.
- 3. A method according to claim 22, wherein said parameters in said drive cycle include acceleration, deceleration and braking.
- 4. A method according to claim 21, further comprising:
generating another position signal related to an operating position of said conveyor; providing said another position signal to said motor controller for operating said conveyor drive; and determining said drive profile for operating said conveyor drive based on said another position signal.
- 5. A method according to claim 21, further comprising:
generating an angular position signal related to an operating position of said conveyor drive; providing said angular position signal to said motor controller for operating said conveyor drive; and determining said drive profile for operating said conveyor drive based on said angular position signal.
