The simulation of operating of a positioning system actuated by electrical stepping motor

Abstract

The work presents the current situation concerning positioning systems manufactured by well-known companies in the industry: Festo, SMC, etc, or patented solutions for positioning system. The authors suggest, following a thorough analysis, as a original solution, a positioning system driven by an electrical stepping motor. There are presented some particular elements of design, modeling, execution, testing and optimization of the proposed system. For validation, the mathematical model, authors have developed, in Matlab environment, a graphic user interface in which one can simulate the operation of several solutions with stepping motors, different positioning strokes.
