Webinar: Control Schemes for Dealing with Nonlinear Mechanics

By Design World Staff | August 18, 2016

Arm_croppedWatch Now On-Demand – Go Here>>

This webinar was originally broadcast Thursday, September 22, 2016

 

There are many challenges when designing a motion control system. One challenge that can overwhelm many engineers is nonlinear mechanics. These mechanics can make tuning a motion control system difficult. At Galil, we pride ourselves in being able to provide intuitive solutions for these nonlinear or unorthodox mechanics.

This webinar will discuss six examples of applications with nonlinear mechanics, their inherent challenges, and the tools/solutions to address these challenges.

Below are the six examples of applications with nonlinear mechanics:

  1. High-friction axis
  2. Mechanics with backlash
  3. Servo axis involving a spring
  4. Axis exposed to large and unpredictable outside forces
  5. Mechanics where inertia varies with position
  6. Hydraulic axis

    Can this webinar be attended from home.
    If yes, than can I get the link or website so that I’ll be able to attend.
    If not, than what’s the venue and require qualifications.
    Also, is it free of charge.
    Please to hear from you.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Will this be archived, since that is the worst time in the week for me?
