Data-driven autotuning tool for commercial motion controller

October 2, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

Aerotech, Inc.

EasyTune™ is the most advanced autotuning tool available in a commercial motion controller. Entirely data-driven, the algorithm largely mimics the process followed by an experienced controls engineer. Many existing tuning techniques rely on basic model-fitting or “rules-of-thumb” that ignore machine resonances or nonlinear behavior, but EasyTune™ directly measures and compensates for those effects. It assumes […]
