Automatic Control of a Dual-SMA Actuator System
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Eftimie Murgu" Resita. Fascicula de Inginerie - Year 2016, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
The present paper describes research results considering the automatic control of a prehension module using a dual shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator. The offspring targeted a high-speed prehension appliance by means of adjusting constants of a PID controller. Furthermore, SMA springs are individually driven according each one’s particularities, aiming at prolonging life of dual SMA actuator, with respect to parametric values given by manufacturer. Problem of process control is approached from few perspectives: automatic control, software implementation and electronic performance, the first being the one subjected to following discussion.
