Six Axis Platform System
Teaching Objectives
Six Axis Platform System
- Study of the components and the assembly of a dynamic linkage.
- System analysis, modelling and control.
- Study of the behaviour of.
- Mechanical systems: geometry, kinematics, statics and dynamics, structures.
- Control: position servos, accuracy, speed, stability, feedback.
Use of the software allows the following to be investigated :
- Simulation of various system architectures.
- Control systems for outputting signals to the actuators in order to reach a specific position or to follow a specific path.
- Presentation of data in graphical form.
- Monitoring of laboratory experiments.
