Motion Control Applications
CTI provides a range of motion control solutions to fit your application requirements. We draw upon our long history of integrating stepper, servo, and other motion hardware into "smart" applications to design efficient solutions for your requirements. Below is a list of selected motion control applications we’ve developed. Contact CTI to find out more.
- Bio-sample Biaxial Load Tester - investigates the mechanical properties of biological and synthetic tissues by stretching samples using a set of four in-plane stepper motors. In this system, load cells monitor the forces applied to the sample, while an overhead camera tracks marker dots on the sample.
- Magnetic Field Mapper - acquires, analyzes, and archives 3-D
mappings of magnetic field emanating from large cylindrical
magnetic probes using in oil wells. Visualizations of fields can be produced from
multiple angles with
overlay plots from different runs for comparison.
- Hot Dip Simulator - controls motion, heating, cooling and
logs data from a 1/10th scale simulator of steel manufacturing
facility. Uses PID control to optimize heating and cooling of
steel panels.
-
Robotic Vial Control System - 3-axis robotic system used to
pick up and relocate vials from hot to cold plates at an
experimental station, containing 1280 vial positions. Up to 16
independent experiments can be run simultaneously.
- Wellplate Inspection System - software controls an XY stage
and takes pictures of the well samples and then analyzes wells
for interesting characteristics.
- Innocable Control System - controls the fabrication of wound
cables.
- 4-axis Semi-rigid Cable Bender - control system for
generating complex three dimensional, high-precision bend
patterns in semi-rigid cable.
- Tube Drawing Line - control system for the production of small diameter, thin-walled, cold drawn tubing from larger diameter mother tube.
