Ball Balancing Table-1

BALL BALANCING TABLE A ball placed on a table does not fall on the ground because it is stabilized with this table and your control algorithm. OVERVIEW Balancing a ball on a table in a desired position is one of the most important and classical problems of control engineering. Advanced control techniques are used for the stability of the ball, which are very essential techniques in modern industrial control processes. Students have the opportunity to conveniently learn the essential aspects of control theory by experimenting. OPEN-SOURCE CONTROLLER SOFTWARE B all B alancing Table with its completely open source system software makes it possible that students can modify environments. Students can understand the effects of controller types on the system and can easily cover concepts designing control, INTUITIVE SOFTWARE WITH DIGITAL-TWIN OPTION The the advanced control techniques for balancing problem easily. Beside the position control of the ball, students have the option to make the ball follow rectangular and circular paths. As a patented method students also have the option to draw their own paths on the table and make the ball follow the drawn path. Digital-Twin software option also let you teach and learn model-based mechatronics system design concepts with a 3D+lD system co-simulation engine.
