Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Achievements resulting from the SPP in High speed Machinery allow machine designers far greater freedom in configuration of manufacturing equipment. However, such freedom introduces new problems to the machine design and designers must now consider which technology, or indeed mix of technologies, best meets the design objectives and an understanding must be gained of the compromises and trade-offs on offer. This is by no means an insignificant problem and the implementation of the new technological developments may well suffer without such an understanding. The proposed project aims to use the extensive knowledge base built up within the SERC/LINK HSM SPP to create a computer based system as an aid to the selection process and so allow trade-offs and compromises to be evaluated. The resulting design aid is particularly intended as an aid for machine systems designers with limited knowledge of a wide range of modern high performance electrical drives and control techniques.
