In the high-tech industry, modelling and simulation is the primary method used to evaluate the precision and performance of machinery. We can create simulation models based on components such as:

• motors and drives: DC, DC brushless, stepper, piezo
• transmissions: (multi-stage) gearboxes, spindles, cams, levers, timing belts, couplings
• linkages: rigid and flexible linkages with rotation and sliding joints, 3D mass and inertia
• movement: springs, dampers, friction, backlash

These simulation models allow us to assess machine accuracy, develop control systems and improve performance.

We can embed our machine and system models in a VR environment to provide a fully immersive experience. We pair these models with a game-based human-machine interface (HMI) to guide users through the experience. Users can log in and select a level. They receive feedback based on their performance. If they win enough points, they can move up to the next level. The entry levels teach you how to operate the system. Higher levels teach you to carry out advanced tasks.

We specialise in non-standard robot applications, particularly the control systems used to optimise performance, accuracy and efficiency. We have worked with various types of robots (delta, scara, mobile, special) and used simulation models to develop control systems and investigate path planning.
