Abstract

This course covers model building and the applied stimulation of (power-assisted axles on production machinery using MATLAB/Simulink and provides a practical example of how drive parameters may be set up, how through simulation an optimal axis design can be developed and which characteristics of a production machine can be reliably estimated in advance.

Objective

The students are able to model servo axes considering all relevant components and process influences to simulate the achievable productivity.

Content

1. Introduction, complexity levels in model building for production machines. 2. Complexity level 1: Power-assisted axles, transmission systems, general structural model. 3. Complexity level 2: Robotic models, kinematics and dynamics 4. Complexity level 3: Multi-body models and finite element models 5. Regulation of power-assisted axles, cascade regulator and state regulator extensions. 6. Numerical control systems, command variable engineering, torque dampening, coupling strength compensation. 7. Master slave and gantry operations with dispersed servo drive. 8. Simulation examples in MATLAB/Simulink ((Swivel axle, 5-axle milling machine, parallel kinematic milling machine, industrial robots).
