Electromate is pleased to announce it will be hosting two Motion Control ‘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:
· 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
Engineers will be on hand demonstrating functioning demos
-The ½ day events are FREE and runs from 9:30am-3:30pm
-Lunch will be served
The Seminar is FREE, however seating is limited.
