Figure 6.1 - Velocity Profiles of ABC

Notes on fig 6.1: The A and B axis have a ‘trapezoidal’ velocity profile, while the C axis has a ‘triangular’ velocity profile. The A and B axes accelerate to the specified speed, move at this constant speed, and then decelerate such that the final position agrees with the command position, PR. The C axis accelerates, but before the specified speed is achieved, must begin deceleration such that the axis will stop at the commanded position. All 3 axes have the same acceleration and deceleration rate, hence, the slope of the rising and falling edges of all 3 velocity profiles are the same.
