How to Design & Build a High Precision Positioning System
Product News Thursday, April 28, 2011: Electromate Industrial Sales Ltd.
May 17, 2011 - May 18, 2011
Electromate is pleased to announce it will be hosting two ‘'How to Design & Build a High Precision Positioning System' Seminars on Tuesday May 17th in Toronto, Ontario and on Wednesday May 18th in Montreal, Quebec.
Participating in the Seminars will be:
Galil Motion Control
Harmonic Drive
Ibex Engineering
Nippon Pulse America
Schneeberger Linear Technology
GSI MicroE Systems
Who would benefit from this Seminar:
Designers in the Medical, Biotech, Semiconductor, Pharmaceutical, Optics, Photonics, Metrology
& Microscopy, Material Science, Life Science, Test & Measurement, and Research & Lab Automation markets who are looking to gain a better practical understanding of 'How to Design & Build a High Precision Positioning Motion Control System'.
The Seminar agenda includes presentations on:
- Advanced motion control techniques for sub-micron and nanopositioning applications
- Using Labview VI’s in sub-micron positioning applications
- Improving positioning with dual-loop control and S-curve motion
- Optimized tuning procedures for high precision systems
- Troubleshooting dithering, ringing, position error, etc.
- Incorporating remote IO for complete machine control
- Bearing system selection (ie. cross roller bearing, linear recirculating, air bearing, flexure, etc)
- Importance of the coefficient of friction, stiction, bearing preload, breakaway torque & friction
- The importance of running parallelism, straightness, flatness, orthogonality
- Hysteresis, lost motion, bearing creep and various forces that affect stage performance
- Axial/radial loading and their affects on system precision
- Failure modes. How and when they happen (ie. brinelling)
- Choice of stepper vs servo (ie. positioning vs steady speed applications)
- Linear motors vs. voicecoil motors vs. piezo ceramic motors in high precision linear systems
- Sizing Linear Shaft Motors & linear motor systems
- Harmonic Drive vs. Direct Drive Rotary systems ... how to choose the right technology
- Understanding system backlash, cogging and rigidity/stiffness
- Accuracy vs. repeatability vs. resolution
- Preferred types of feedback systems and end-of-travel switches
- Chat with an engineer to solve your toughest motion control problem
- Product Demonstrations
What you’ll receive:
-Nippon Pulse & Galil Motor Sizing Software
-Presentation material on USB Stick
-Factory Engineers will be on hand demonstrating functioning demos
-The ½ day events are FREE and run from 9:30am-3:30pm
-Lunch will be served
