Three-axis motion and piezoelect​ric actuators

Carlos
Hello.
My name is carlos, i am new to this forum.
I have a need to move a mirror, pointing with a laser, to the coordinates that I enter using axes, x y.
Use three-axis motion and piezoelectric actuators to actuate the mirror.
There is one "vi" to entering the coordinates xy of two axes of movement for me the three actuators tripod.
The output would be a DAQ card with analog outputs to control the three axes.

Sincerely,
Carlos

Hola Carlos,
la aplicación que planteas es perfectamente viable. El único inconveniente que veo es utilizar una tarjeta de adquisición de datos (DAQ Card) para controlar el movimiento de los 3 ejes. Para ello, existe hardware dedicado en arquitectura PCI para PC y PXI. En concreto, me refiero a la serie NI-73xx para control de movimiento, como por ejemplo:

Puedes configurar tu sistema en http://www.ni.com/advisor/esa/  y ver qué productos te encajan más en cuanto a prestaciones y coste. Puedes llamar a National Instruments España en el 91 640 0085 para que un ingeniero de ventas te ayude a realizar la configuración en función de los requisitos que tengas.
Un saludo.

  • Motion and Vector Space Question

    I have an x-axis stage and a y-axis stage with 2 different leadscrew pitches, i.e.: one table has a 5 turns per inch leadscrew and the other has a 50 turn per inch leadscrew. Consequently, the stepper motors attached have to operate at different speeds (10x difference) in order for the tables to have the same velocity. I have this accounted for in the axis configuration settings in the NI MAX explorer. When I am configuring automated moves in LabView and set up a "vector space" composed of the two axis, it seems that the motors operate at the same speed and ignore the MAX settings. I thought that after intializing the controller, the current axis settings would be carried over and applied through the vector space and to the actual move
    (a 2D move made in Motion Assistant). Am I missing something? Do I need to load the velocity for each axis with a flexmotion VI somewhere in the code? I'd like to command the motrs to move at 2 different speeds so the tables move at the same velocities. Any comments would be appreciated. An abbreviated sample of some of the code is attached. Thanks. ROB

    Rob,
    you should be able to adjust the pitch of the leadscrews by setting the stepper steps per revolution and/or the encoder steps per revolution settings in MAX accordingly (in your configuration these settings should differ by the factor of 10 for your two axes)
    In your application you then have to use the Load Velocity in RPM.flx and the Load Accel/Decel in RPS/sec.flx in order to get the same resulting velocities on both axes. If you do it like this you still have to account the factor of 10 for your target position calculations.
    I couldn't find out if you have proceeded like that in your application as the vi you have attached is missing a crucial subvi.
    If you are using a four axes board like the PCI-7344 or the PCI-7334 there is another option:
    You
    could use a third axis that acts as a master for one of your axes (I would prefer the axis with the 5 inch per leadscrew). Your real axis has to be configured to follow the master axis by a factor of 1/10. In your application you configure a vector space for the master axis and the axis that is not configured as slave. Your physical signal connections need to be done to this axis and the slave axis.
    Please examine the LabVIEW gearing examples for more information.
    In this case you should enter the same values for stepper steps per revolution and/or the encoder steps per revolution in MAX for both axes as the pitch adjustment is done by the gearing.
    The advantage of this method is that now you can set the same velocities, accelerations and even target positions for both axes and you never again have to account the pitch factor.

  • 3 axis motion control- where do I start?

    I have to develop a hearing aid hybrid test system which will test an array
    of hybrids. I already have the individual hybrid test code but need some
    guidance with the motion control. Does anybody have any good references
    for me on what aspects should be considered. All I really want to do is
    step
    and test but don't know much about motor types stepper/servo etc, limits,
    calibration etc. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    We use http://www.jrkerr.com/index.html motor control system. This uses
    low cost Pics and a serial network. The drivers are a DLL and can be
    called from LabVIEW. I have built multi axis devices and it has worked
    real reliable. (No problems).
    A company called Compu-Motion has experience building low cost hardware and
    software for mult-axis devices. Compu-Motion web site is
    www.compu-motion.com. Compu-Motion could help you build the hardware or
    software.

  • What applicable methods can capture the motion and location(b​ehavior) of an underwater vehicle in swimming pool?

    I am searching the methods to capture the motion and location of a underwater vehicle in swimming pool.
    The measured data will be used to verify the created simulation software.
    The underwater vehicle can be control in six degrees of freedom.The swimming pool is about Olympic sized.
    I had some ideas,however I am not sure whether they would work or not;
    Using camera and marker,however it will only work when
    the vehicle is near the water surface..
    Using camera or video cam
    which is located above the pool, however this technique has a problem of light refraction
    between water and air.
    Using blinking signal with
    three receivers, this technique is good in a open water not in a swimming pool
    because the acoustic signal will reflect the walls. 
    Using the pressure sensors
    or a dive record.
    Could you suggest me to the right way? 

    All of the methods you mentioned could work.  And as you pointed out, each of them has its drawbacks.
    It seems that most of the methods you describe only track the vehicle in two dimensions while the motion has six degrees of freedom.  If you want to track all six degrees or even the 3-D position over time a more complex system will be required.
    Since the navies of the world have used primarily acoustic methods for the past 70+ years to locate objects underwater and cetaceans have been doing so for much longer, I would suggest that the acoustic approach is perhaps the best.
    Put sensors at different depths as well as different horizontal positions so that the vehicle can be located in three dimensions.  In most cases the signal reflected from the walls should arrive later than the direct signal from the vehicle, so that should be relatively easy to reject.  You will not have a thermocline in the pool and the walls will be at known distances and angles to the sensors, so it should be relatively easy to discriminate between signals from the vehicle and signals from the walls.  To detect the roll, pitch, and yaw of the vehicle may be more difficult.  If the vehicle is emitting signals, put at least three transducers on the vehicle (more may be required as some sensors will be blocked from a direct path to one or more emitters) to detect those motions.

  • "Motion and Compressor Will Not Open Because Of A Problem"?

    Last week I installed FCS 3 on my iMac and everything appeared to work OK.
    However, as my iMac had been cluttered with rubbish for 2 years I erased the Hard Drive and reinstalled OSX 10.6.3 together with all FCS 3.
    I have only used FCP and STP since then but today I discovered that Motion and Compressor "will not open because of a problem".
    Here are the reports where it appears that in both cases the "Dyld Error Message", whatever that is, reports that "Library not loaded etc. etc."
    Incidentally there are mentions of 14 and 18 crashes since last reports. This is ridiculous as I have only just tried to open them 3 or 4 times in the last 5 minutes . . . . and the computer OS and apps are all freshly installed.

  • Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro on Separate Machines?

    Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro from the same Final Cut Studio license on separate machines? We hadn't realised when we bought Final Cut Studio that it wouldn't allow this. Our editor doesn't use motion, and while I mainly use After Effects on our motion graphics machine, I was wanting to try using motion for some particle effects. Unfortunately, it won't let me open it while Final Cut is running on our editor's machine. I can understand not letting two copies of same application run under the same serial number at the same time, but it would be nice to be able to use both programs that we own concurrently. At very least it would be good to warn you that this isn't possible in the product description, not in some fine print license agreement once you have already bought the software.
    -Matt

    I do not know of any software, in any platform that can operate from the same license over a network simultaneously.This is the exact reason for the existence of Volume Licensing. If for example a project ran in each one of the included applications from different sources that were not an active network, I doubt you would have a problem.Like, doing a project at work and geting the outcome with the Powerbook at home...Sorta!

  • Is there a way to detect motion and set markers automatically?

    My video includes walking around with the camera.  I walk, then stop and hold the camera in one area, then pan, then continue walking (and repeat). 
    While panning, there is some annoying flicker of vertical objects (beams, poles, whatever).  I can use a horizontal fast blur to fix this, but I only want the blur applied when there is panning (not when the camera is relatively still).  Doing it manually is cumbersome.
    Is there a way to detect when motion is going on (over a certain threshold)?  I would like PP to tell me when there is significant motion, and place markers in the points where it begins and ends (when motion goes over a threshold and then when it falls below the threshold).
    Thanks, experts!

    One thing you can try is to bring your footage into Prelude - it will lay out the entire clip so you can see thumbnail snapshots for the whole clip at once - that might give you a good start to see where there is a lot of motion.  Then, you can add markers very easily at all of those points - and when you send it over to Premiere, the markers will show up on your clip. 
    Not automated, but a good workflow to achieve what you are looking for.

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • Motion and Field Order Stupidness

    I'll try not to rant too much.
    But what is up with Motion and working with DV NTSC video with fields? I have had nothing but headaches. I am a long time After Effects user, and I was glad to get Motion 2 (2.1.2), but I've just spent the last hour and half trying to get it to render DV NTSC video correctly without it getting field jitter on a project that needed to be over-nighted to go on the air. And it still doesn't look totally correct. (I'm not a happy camper)
    Here's the deal, I took DV captured footage from FCP using the standard DV/DVCPRO - NTSC preset I've used forever. That footage was imported into a Motion project that was using its own NTSC DV project preset (all lower fields -even). But every time I'd play it back in Motion, or render it out (still using the NTSC DV render preset), I get serious field jitter on DV output.
    Eventually I found under the Inspector-Media tabs that the footage was imported as Field Order- None (why I have not a clue). So I changed all the footage to Lower (even). That worked on any footage where size, rotation, or position was not changed. If any of those attributes was changed I get the field order jitter. It seems to me that Motion is not able to render out field ordered video properly and the quality looks poor or jittery.
    Now that might seem hasty to say that, but I've been doing the same thing in AE for years, never having to change the imported field order to get it to look right and I have always captured, imported, work with projects and rendered using the QT DV/DVCPRO - NTSC presets.
    Can someone help me because I can not believe I've had to change so many setting to try to get video to look right from Motion while using the same settings during the entire workflow.
    Thanks, and sorry for the rant.

    Hey, thanks for the replys.
    [....you might want to try using the animation codec..millions of colors...]
    I gave that a shot this morning, and I'm having the same problem. See what's going on now is after changing the Field Order to even for the footage media, all of it looks decent except for the ones on an angle, croped or resized and I see this in both Motion's preview and the final render when I play it back in FCP. So as per your suggestion I rendered with the animation codec (filed rendering) and it still has it. Its just odd to me that it does that, like I said before I've worked in the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec with FCP and AE for years with no quality degrade. The reason I have always do that is that's what I capture to and that what my FCP project is so to keep it all consistant. BTW, this is going network and cable, no different than I usually do.
    [...are you enabling field rendering in the Canvas or in the export settings?]
    Yes I am, sorry, I should have pointed that out. I have done combinations of different QT codecs with and without field rendering turned on to see different results. None of course resolves this issue.
    Thanks

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
