Manufacturers today face many hurdles in their manufacturing applications. Process parameters can range from one application to the next. While some applications require very little precision and ...

For improving the dynamic quality and steady-state performance, the hybrid controller based on recurrent neural network (RNN) is designed to implement the position control of the magnetic levitation ...

A switching active disturbance rejection control (SADRC) strategy was proposed to solve the composite disturbance challenge arising from gap, LuGre friction, hydraulic spring force, and external load ...

Due to their versatility, ease of design, and low cost, flyback converters have become one of the most widely used topologies in power electronics. Its structure derives from one of the three basic ...

Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...
