  • TITLE: CALIBRATION OF TORQUE SENSOR PROTOTYPE USING COMMERCIAL TORQUE SENSOR
  • AUTHOR(S): B. Koprivica, M. Sucurovic, V. Vujicic, M. Bozic, M. Rosic
  • ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to present the measurement method, measurement setup and results of calibration of torque sensor prototype under rotating operating conditions. By comparison with reference torque sensor, a transfer function is determined. Comparison of the calculated and reference torque is made and corresponding relative deviations are calculated. A proper discussion of all the results presented is also given in the paper.

SLIP COMPENSATION OF U/F CONTROLLED INDUCTION MACHINE THROUGH EDUCATIONAL LABORATORY SETUP

  • TITLE: SLIP COMPENSATION OF U/F CONTROLLED INDUCTION MACHINE THROUGH EDUCATIONAL LABORATORY SETUP
  • AUTHOR(S): M. Rosić, M. Luković, M. Bjekić, B. Koprivica
  • ABSTRACT: This paper evaluates several slip compensation methods of U/f control of induction machine (IM). At first, most attractive compensation methods are presented theoretically and analysed by means of simulation in MATLAB/Simulink. Then, two compensation methods are implemented and tested in real-time DSP based experimental setup with dSPACE1104 platform after witch proper discussion of the results is given. Educational and didactical aspect of the experimental setup is emphasized through control algorithm developed in Simulink and graphical user interface developed in Control Desk. Users of this application can evaluate different slip compensation techniques, modify them and easily implement and test new compensation algorithms by using an intuitive graphical user interface.

MOBILE CLIMBING ROBOTS WITH ENERGY ACCUMULATORS

  • TITLE: MOBILE CLIMBING ROBOTS WITH ENERGY ACCUMULATORS
  • AUTHOR(S): Y. Kuznetsov, M. Polishchuk
  • ABSTRACT: The article proposes fundamentally new designs of mobile robots of arbitrary orientation in the technological space. The analysis of existing systems of mobile robots of arbitrary orientation is presented. An analysis is made of the methods of coupling robots to a surface of arbitrary orientation when performing technological operations. The difference between the proposed robot designs consists in the presence of energy accumulators that allow accumulating the potential energy at each previous step of the motion and transforming it into kinetic energy of motion at the next step of displacement. Two types of batteries are proposed: in the form of mechanical springs and compressed gas. Mathematical models of functioning of energy accumulators and calculation of their parameters are given. The results of modeling the operation of energy accumulators in the form of graphical and analytical dependences are given. Recommendations for improving the design of mobile robots are suggested.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF AUTOMATED DESIGNING SPATIAL FRAMEWORKS FOR TECHNOLOGICAL AND MACHINE-TOOLS EQUIPMENT

  • TITLE: THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF AUTOMATED DESIGNING SPATIAL FRAMEWORKS FOR TECHNOLOGICAL AND MACHINE-TOOLS EQUIPMENT
  • AUTHOR(S): Y. Kuznetsov, D. Dmitriev, S. Rusanov, A. Omelchuk
  • ABSTRACT: This paper describes the modern development trend for multifunctional equipment for the complex surface cutting, many-coordinate manipulation, 3D printing and the others processing. The paper purpose is to analyze the behavior of MPS equipment in relation to the use of typical processing strategies (embodied in modern CAM systems) and the conformity of the output trajectories (consequently, the final product quality) to the processing accuracy criteria, taking into account frame layout rigidity for the general external influences (cutting forces, etc.), as well as the establishment of an hierarchy of selected strategies. Based on the results of series of calculations, the preliminary recommendations made.

ACCURACY INCREASING METHODS OF BELT WEIGHER MASS MEASUREMENT

  • TITLE: ACCURACY INCREASING METHODS OF BELT WEIGHER MASS MEASUREMENT
  • AUTHOR(S): S. Aleksandrovic, V. Damnjanovic, I. Jeftenic
  • ABSTRACT: The excavated coal mass measurement during transportation to large consumers is significant part of conducting of a coal mining and processing technological process, as well as of the evaluation of coal through sale. A measurement error of the order of the tenth part of percent can impact profit enormously. In this paper, there are presented some accuracy increasing methods of continuous belt weigher mass measurement on conveyor belts in real conditions.
