Gantry System
Overview and Aim
The aim of this project was to design a controller for a gantry system such that gantry system oscillates in the desired range
The gantry system is modelled by analyzing the motion using Newtons law and simulated the model in MATLAB Simulink
The Equations of the model are solved using the MAPLE software
Figure on the right shows the Simulink model of the Gantry system
Simulink Model of Gantry System
A PID controller was designed for the system in Simulink and the PID controller and was implemented experimentally
Figure below shows the results of the Gantry system experimentally
