Lunch N' Learn Seminars in Toronto & Montreal

How to Design & Build a High Precision Positioning System

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:

• 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 runs from 9:30am-3:30pm
• Lunch will be served

The Seminar is FREE, however seating is limited.
