Position Control Trainer

 

Description:

Rotating components are basic parts in almost all industrial machinery; examples are generators, turbines, pumps…etc.

The objective of this trainer is to teach students how to measure the position and the speed of a rotating shaft using an encoder and how to control the position of a rotating shaft. The sensors used are a photoelectric sensor and a rotary encoder.

 

 

Curriculum Coverage:

  • Rotary Encoder Characteristics
  • Speed & Position Measurement using Encoder
  • PID control of the position of a rotating shaft
