Motion Control Learning System teaches the skills required to understand and maintain the sophisticated industrial applications so commonly found in modern industry. The motion control action may be as simple as opening and closing a valve or as complex as controlling multiple axes on a CNC machine. Motion Control Learning System is used where conventional motor control, using discrete inputs and outputs, cannot achieve the accuracy needed to produce a product. A good example of motion control is an offset printing press that uses four motors to print four separate colors on a page and another motor to turn the feed roll. A motion controller sends acceleration and velocity commands to each motor to control its speed, torque, and rotor position. At the same time the motion controller monitors these parameters and adjusts the output as needed to create a legible color image on the page. Motion Control Learning System applies to a wide range of industries that need to meet market demands for greater system throughput and improved output quality and precision. Some of these industries include automotive, energy, medical, petroleum, printing, and packaging. Motion control training for multiple axes is necessary. The Motion Control Learning System provides instruction in motion control for a multiple axis system, including set-up, operation, programming, and multi-axis synchronization and control. Motion Control Learning System includes a tabletop workstation, multiple single axis drives, and motion controller with control programming software, tensioning kit, synchronization kit, registration kit, timing kit, communication cables, lockout/tagout kit, student curriculum, and instructor's assessment guide. Motion Control Learning System is self-contained and teaches students to control both single and multiple axes. It allows students to learn industry-relevant skills including how to create, navigate, configure, operate, maintain, and apply industrial motion control systems.

The set-up also allows to take a closer look at the basic methods applied for determining the thermal conductivity of the surrounding soil of the geothermal probe. In near-surface geothermal energy generation the thermal energy stored under the Earths surface is used for heating purposes. The transparent experimental set-up provides an insight into the closed circuit of the heat transfer: it allows a clear view on the evaporation in the heat pipe, the condensation in the probe head and the reflux of the heat transfer medium on the inside wall of the heat pipe. It demonstrates the operation of a geothermal probe with heat pipe principle.

The flow properties of a powder or bulk solid determine how it behaves during handling. A motor moves the shear cell relative to the lid in order to apply shear to the sample. For compaction (pre-shearing) the sample is subjected to a large normal force. In a ring shear tester, a bulk sample is contained in a ring-shaped shear cell. A normal force is exerted on the sample by way of a lid. A hanger from which a variable weight is suspended generates this normal force. For example, material may flow irregularly out of silos, or the flow of bulk solid may come to a stop. In order to avoid these problems in practice, soils can be designed on the basis of measurements using shear testers, such as the Jenike shear tester or a ring shear tester. From the shear force characteristics, properties such as the compressive strength and internal friction of the bulk solid can be determined. An electronically amplified force transducer measures the shear forces which are then recorded by data acquisition software over time. To determine the density of the bulk solid, the volume of the bulk sample is ascertained by recording the lowering of the lid using a vernier caliper gauge. After pre-shearing, shearing to failure is executed with a reduced normal force (strength measurement) and likewise recorded by the software.

The heavy-duty box-section support beamworks as the main support underneath the test beams and the leaf spring duringthe tests. The spring is of the same heavy-duty design as those used in vehicle suspensions. The Beam and Leaf Spring parts fit into the compressive testarea of Universal Testing Machine. The testing machine applies a compressive bending force and measures the beam deflection. Students may adjust the position of the knife edge supports to setthe length of beam under test. This give students a better understanding of a ‘real world engineering component. For beam tests, the test beam rests across two knife edge supports fixed to the support beam. This forms a ‘simply supported beam. For leaf spring tests, the spring rests on its rollerson two fl at supports fixed to the support beam. They can then compare theresults with those predicted by theory. Again, the testing machineapplies a compressive force and measures the leaf spring deflection. For thebeams, students use the deflection and force values to find the relationshipbetween force and deflection for the different beams.

The vibrating cantilever examines what happen the spring element is not light. Additionally, it examines a beam as a complete self-contained system, forming the mass and the spring. Free Vibrations Of A Cantilever fits to the sturdy Test Frame for study or demonstration. However, in mass spring system, we normally assume a light spring compared to the mass.
