MODULE SUMMARY
Aims and Summary The aim of this module is to prepare the students to understand working principles of electrical drives, relays and actuators applied to machinery. They will be taught to arrive at specifications and select electrical drives / actuators based for machinery and machine tool applications. Selection of appropriate sensors and feedback devices required for the development of motion control mechanism will also be dealt. Finally they will be able to develop an electromechanical sub-system for driving and controlling the specific functions of machinery.
