Need help building a large xyz table to study pendulum motion. The setup would be similar to a large gantry system. Each axis needs to be 3 ft long. The pendulum would be 10 lbs or so and would hang off the vertical z axis. All three axes need to be able to move at the same time between 4 and 8 inches/sec. I am looking to do this on the cheap, but have only found linear slide actuators that cost over $1000 each. |

Hi , do you want to make a table , by formula or by measuring it .? A pendulum will alway move on the same plane. Could you explain a little more??? devitg

I will try to clarify the project more. The pendulum will start out at a predetermined position relatively high above the ground. After it is released, the goal is to have a control system to actuate the actuators on each axis and get the pendulum to land safely on the ground. I will do control analyses to test out the control system. If the control system doesn't work, I will need to spend time looking more at the general pendulum dynamics with the xyz table. As I am a young engineer with little mechanical experience, it looks like I need some help locating the hardware for building the xyz table. |
