Motion Control Learning System Single Axis 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 Learning System Single Axis is used where conventional motor control, using discrete inputs and outputs, cannot achieve the accuracy needed to produce a product. 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. 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. Motion Control Learning System Single Axis is self-contained and teaches students to control one axis. It allows students to learn industry-relevant skills including how to create, navigate, configure, operate, maintain, and apply motion control systems. Motion Control Learning System Single Axis teaches the skills required to understand and maintain the sophisticated 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 Single Axis includes a tabletop workstation, motion controller with control programming software, tensioning kit, synchronization kit, registration kit, timing kit, communication cables, lockout/tagout kit, student curriculum, and instructors assessment guide. The Motion Control Learning System Single Axis system provides instruction in motion control for a single axis system, including set-up, operation, programming, and control.

Gearbox Apparatus can be slid across each other by the use of a lever with ball knob and the whole gearbox can be rotated using the rotating handle attached on the side of the input pulley. The gears are industry standard gears finished in high quality and mesh together in different ratios within the frame. A study wall mounted frame houses all the gears, shafts, bearings and levers contained within this apparatus. All gears run on shafts fitted into bearings and the changing mechanism ensures smooth transition. A 'H' style change with gear change lever and knob allows the use of the different gears within the system.
Protractors on the input and output shaft pulleys are fitted. A set of masses and hangers is supplied to allow the shafts to be driven. The input and output pulleys allow loads to be applied for lifting and lowering. This unit is hand operated. A set of clear, transparent guards are fitted so that safety is maintained and clear visibility is ensured.
Experimental Capabilities:
Measure of the angular displacement at the input and output of the gear box and comparison with the calculated values

The apparatus is supported on a PVC base into which a vertical water supply pipe is fitted. Surrounding the supply pipe is a transparent plastic shield fitted with a top PVC flanged cover assembly. Impact of Jets apparatus enables experiments to be carried out on the reaction of a jet of water on vanes of various forms. In operation, water from the Hydraulics Bench is fed into the unit and a vertical jet is produced through the supply pipe and its interchangeable nozzle. The water from the jet is deflected by the reaction vane under test, and drains away through the large aperture in the base of the chamber. The reaction vane is held within the transparent shield approximately 20 mm above the vertical water supply pipe nozzle by a rod which passes through the top cover and supports a flat tray, onto which masses may be placed. Three different types of reaction vane are supplied with the apparatus and the types are flat, hemispherical cup and 45° cone form. The force produced by the jet impinging on the target is transmitted by the rod, to the flat tray where weights are placed in order to balance this transmitted force. Two interchangeable nozzles for the supply pipe are supplied, one of 8 mm and one of 5 mm diameter. Each vane can be secured to the pivot arm by a set screw and when not in use is stored on pegs on the unit base plate.

Blow Down Wind Tunnels are a special type of Open Circuit wind tunnel. For Blow Down Wind Tunnels, however, air is blown down into the wind tunnel by a fan located upstream of the test section, as the name implies. Compared to standard Open Circuit wind tunnel configuration, blow-down style tunnels provide an extra degree of testing flexibility. For most Open Circuit tunnels, fan assemblies are located downstream of the test section and air is drawn through the wind tunnel with suction. Most commonly, these tunnels are used for tests requiring liquid or particulate injection. All blow-down style tunnels have custom test sections, and many are requested to include built-in test article mounting arrangements. Because all tunnels are made to fit the customers needs, there is no limitation to the options available.
