Advanced Mechanisms Laboratory Station
Teaching objectives of Advanced Mechanisms Laboratory Station
- Deal mechanisms.
- Determination of the ideal configuration and the corresponding transmitted forces and couples.
- Real mechanisms.
- Effect of friction on the operation of mechanisms ; study of kinematic constraints, reversibility, efficiency.
- Experiments are carried out on a range of standard links, and displacement transducers mounted on the supporting plate, permit measurements of displacements and transmitted forces and couples.
- The innovative unit is designed for an in-depth experimental three-dimensional study of mechanisms.
- A range of standard links is supplied. These are mounted on a plate equipped with six strain gauge displacement transducers which measure the applied loads. Comprehensive software for a compatible PC micro computer is supplied for data acquisition and display of forces and couples and plate displacements.
- Signals are processed using the Strain Bridge and the acquisition board.
