Translational and rotational servo arm for nuclear control
The BETA Arm is the result of a true industrial system for eddy current inspection of steam generator tubes in a nuclear power plant.
The learned BETA arm reproduces this control system by positioning a camera in front of the tubes with a perforated plate. This system uses two coupled servo-controls, the first is a translation movement and the second a rotation movement.
The learned BETA Arm integrates an axis control board and two speed variators (myRIO control/command) and a piloting and simulation software offering a complete parameter setting of the control laws.
Axis rotation with direct current geared motor, with encoder, on a swivel connection (gearwheel drive)
Travel axis with DC motor gearbox with encoder on a slide linkage (guide with rail and bushings)
