Six Axis Platform System

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.
