Positioning system for assembly and manufacturing tasks
2019
The paper presents a two-axis positioning system using asynchronous motors as actuation devices. Theuse of asynchronous motors reduces the overall cost of the system, while providing actuating torques superior to the ones provided by stepping motors. The system is controlled by mean of a programmable logic controller (PLC) and two voltage-frequency inverters fitted with motion control cards. In contrasts to a stepping motor system, which works in open loop mode, the proposed system uses closed loop control on each axis. The motion loop is closed by means of an incremental encoder.
Low-cost motion control solution for industrial manufacturing systems
2011
This paperwork deals with a low-cost actuation solution, based upon induction motors, which was seldom used in the motion control systems, especially for the machine tools feed drives. A simulation approach, based upon a mathematical model of the induction motor, for tuning the controllers of the systems is presented. Experimental researches developed upon a two axes motion control system, both axes being driven by alternating current asynchronous motors were also performed in order to test the proposed strategies. The asynchronous motors, used as actuation devices were equipped with incremental rotary encoders and controlled by vector frequency inverters and DSP motion control cards were u…
Development of Motorized Slewing Mirror Stage for the UFFO Project
2013
The Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) is a space observatory for optical follow-ups of gamma ray bursts (GRBs), aiming to explore the first 60 seconds of GRBs optical emission. UFFO is utilized to catch early optical emissions from GRBs within few sec after trigger using a Gimbal mirror which redirects the optical path rather than slewing entire spacecraft. We have developed a 15 cm two-axis Gimbal mirror stage for the UFFO-Pathfinder which is going to be on board the Lomonosov satellite which is to be launched in 2013. The stage is designed for fast and accurate motion with given budgets of 3 kg of mass and 3 Watt of power. By employing stepping motors, the slewing mirror can rotate fast…
A New Method of Velocity Estimation Based on Variable Temporal Basis Using Incremental Encoder
1997
Abstract This paper deals with analysis and synthesis of algorithms for digital conditioning of signals generated by incremental encoders to estimate velocity of rotating devices for control purposes. Main objectives are to obtain high accuracy at low and high velocity and low tracking delays during accelerations. A digital conditioning method is described, Which uses a polynomial of order n whose coefficients are updated so as to fit the n+1 most recent velocity data acquired on a variable temporal basis. Digital sinlulations and experimental findings are shown with the ainl to validate the proposed estimation method and compare it with other methods.
Design of a real-time spectroscopic rotating compensator ellipsometer without systematic errors
2014
6th International Conference on Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (ICSE), Kyoto, JAPAN, MAY 26-31, 2013; International audience; We describe a spectroscopic ellipsometer in the visible domain (400-800 nm) based on a rotating compensator technology using two detectors. The classical analyzer is replaced by a fixed Rochon birefringent beamsplitter which splits the incidence light wave into two perpendicularly polarized waves, one oriented at +45 degrees and the other one at-45 degrees according to the plane of incidence. Both emergent optical signals are analyzed by two identical CCD detectors which are synchronized by an optical encoder fixed on the shaft of the step-by-step motor of the compensato…
Observation and Processing of Instantaneous Frequency Variations During Bearing Tests
2020
Laboratory experiments have been performed on medium sized roller bearings with two levels of artificial damage. Recordings of long time series from accelerometers at a wide range of different radial loads and rotation speeds has been performed. Probably due to non-perfect performance of the control systems for the rotational speed or frequency, significant fluctuations were observed at all rotation speeds. The highest relative variation was observed at the lowest rotational speeds. These variations were recorded using a rotary encoder, which allows order tracking of the vibration signal. In real life condition monitoring, tachometers or rotary encoders are not always present, this can be d…
