In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the lightweight design of the gantry machine tool, a lightweight structural optimization design system for the gantry machine tool was constructed. Serialized gantry machine tools were parametrically modeled, and a load model with multiple operating conditions was established. A twice optimization design method integrating zero-order optimization, parameter rounding, and structural re-optimization was proposed. Using the proposed method, a lightweight structural optimization design system for gantry machine tool with parametric design, lightweight design, and other functions was developed. The developed gantry machine tool lightweight structural optimization design system was applied to complete the lightweight structural optimization design of gantry frame of a certain gantry machine tool, so the structural parameters of the gantry frame were optimized. Although the maximum stress and the maximum deformation of the gantry frame increases within the allowable range, the experimental comparison before and after the optimization shows that the mass of the whole gantry frame is reduced by 9.24%, which is beneficial to save the manufacturing cost. The research results show that the constructed lightweight structural optimization design system of the gantry machine tool has high engineering practicality.

Full textAbstract:
The use of gantry crane systems for transporting payload is very common in industrial applications. However, moving the payload using the crane is not an easy task especially when strict specifications on the swing angle and on the transfer time need to be satisfied. To overcome this problem, this paper describes development of an intelligent gantry crane system based on the mechatronics design. A lab-scale gantry crane is designed and then its intelligent controllers are developed. Fuzzy logic controllers are adopted, designed and implemented for controlling payload position as well as the swing angle of the gantry crane. The performance of the proposed intelligent gantry crane system is evaluated on a hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) environment. Moreover robustness of the proposed system is also evaluated experimentally in the HILS environment. The result shows that the proposed intelligent gantry crane system designed based on the mechatronics design approach has better performance than the automatic gantry crane system controlled by classical PID controllers. Moreover the result also shows that the intelligent gantry crane system is more robust to parameter variation than the automatic gantry crane system.

Full textAbstract:
The main focus of this project study is to explore and compare the design and optimization of two types of industrial sheds: Pre-Engineering Building (PEB) with gantry girder work and the traditional truss-type steel shed with a gantry girder. PEB structures stand out for their efficiency and quick assembly due to pre-made components assembled on-site. Including a gantry girder in the design supports cranes for lifting heavy loads. On the other hand, the traditional steel shed design also features a gantry girder for crane support and is a staple in the construction sector. By analyzing these designs using STAAD-Pro software, we evaluate factors like strength, construction time, cost efficiency, and suitability for various industrial needs. Through this comparison, we aim to provide valuable insights for construction professionals to determine the most suitable shed design for their specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance and operational efficiency in industrial settings.

The strength and stiffness characteristics are important parameters in the design of metal structure of gantry crane. In this paper, the modeling of a gantry crane before and after reconstruction was performed by using Finite Element Method, and the strength and static stiffness of the gantry crane were analyzed. The results show that the insufficient stiffness of the reconstructed gantry crane in the shaking direction causes its laterodeviation. A strengthened method was determined after comparison of four reinforcement measures. The present results can provide an importantly theoretical basis for the reconstruction or strengthening of gantry cranes.

Lattix has developed, manufactured and delivered light-weight Gantry systems for road traffic support since 1995. Besides the low weight, their products are competitive due to capabilities such as the total system delivery, high design agility, on-time delivery, possibility of customization, appealing visual appearance, low maintenance cost, and more. Nevertheless, the main challenge is to reduce the total cost. It embraces the material cost, purchased components, assembly and installation cost, and, the most important driver, the customization cost. A lack of standardization solutions, components and subsystems that enable to have a product matrix that covers a wider range of customers’ needs requires engineers to redevelop existing solutions to make them fit to specific customer needs. In order to be able to sustain competitiveness in the existing markets and allow the possibility of expanding into new growing markets, a common design platform across the variants that provides possibilities for mass-customization is desired. The challenge can be summarized as the focus of creating standard design solutions, which maintain the capability of tailor-make Gantry systems accordingly with individual customers’ needs. Therefore, a new gantry will be developed in this work, having a holistic product perspective with the final goal of minimizing the total cost and maximizing perceived customer value. In order to achieve that goal, cost evaluations will be performed to different Gantry concepts.

Full textAbstract:
Soil compaction due to wheeled tractors and trailed equipment has been a concern since the beginning of agricultural machanization. The interest in this subject has increased in recent years, as tractors and trailers have become heavier. Gantries pass over the field in fixed unplanted paths, between which lay the crop beds. Wheel traction increases due to soil compaction on the pathways, while the elimination of soil compaction in the growing area improves soil tilth, and provides the best soil condition for crops. To obtain optimum performance with a gantry, it must be properly designed to ensure that the structural components are strong, yet light. Since forces arising from various field operations which would act on the gantry were not directly available from the literature, they were estimated from various sources. Finite element analysis was then used to analyze the design and determine the most appropriate material sizes.

Fenning, Richard. "Novel FFAG gantry and transport line designs for charged particle therapy." Thesis, Brunel University, 2012. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/6860.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the design of novel magnetic lattices for the transport line and gantry of a charged particle therapy complex. The designs use non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (ns-FFAG) magnets and were made as part of the PAMELA project. The main contributions in this thesis are the near-perfect FFAG dispersion suppression design process and the designs of the transport line and the gantry lattices. The primary challenge when designing an FFAG gantry is that particles with different momenta take up different lateral positions within the magnets. This is called dispersion and causes problems at three points: the entrance to the gantry, which must be rotated without distortion of the beam; at the end of the gantry where reduced dispersion is required for entry to the scanning system; and a third of the way through the gantry, where a switch in curvature of the magnets is required. Due to their non-linear fields, dispersion suppression in conventional FFAGs is never perfect. However, as this thesis shows, a solution can be found through manipulation of the field components, meaning near-perfect dispersion suppression can be achieved using ns-FFAG magnets (although at a cost of irregular optics). The design process for an FFAG dispersion suppressor shown in this thesis is a novel solution to a previously unsolved problem. Other challenges in the gantry lattice design, such as height and the control of the optics, are tackled and a final gantry design presented and discussed. The starting point for the transport line is a straight FFAG lattice design. This is optimised and matched to a 45o bend. Fixed field solutions to the problem of extracting to the treatment room are discussed, but a time variable field solution is decided on for practical and patient safety reasons. A matching scheme into the gantry room is then designed and presented.

Full textAbstract:
Scanned focussed ultrasound has been extensively used as a modality to induce hyperthermia for cancer treatment. A major area of research involves determining optimal methods for scanning the ultrasound focus in the tumor. For this research, two new scanning patterns have been designed and implemented in software. The first scanning pattern developed was the circular scan which made use of the rotate and tilt axes of the transducer gantry in an attempt to solve the problem of beam overlap during scanning. The second pattern developed was the yawed octagonal scan which provided more flexibility in scanning tumors of different sizes and orientations. Secondly, the commercial gantry movement control unit being used at the University of Arizona was replaced with a more compact functional unit and interfaced to personal computer with a highly user friendly interface for performing the ultrasound scanning routines to induce hyperthermia in tumors.

Masood, Umar. "Radiotherapy Beamline Design for Laser-driven Proton Beams." Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf, 2018. https://tud.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A35640.
Full textAbstract:
Motivation: Radiotherapy is an important modality in cancer treatment commonly using photon beams from compact electron linear accelerators. However, due to the inverse depth dose profile (Bragg peak) with maximum dose deposition at the end of their path, proton beams allow a dose escalation within the target volume and reduction in surrounding normal tissue. Up to 20% of all radiotherapy patients could benefit from proton therapy (PT). Conventional accelerators are utilized to obtain proton beams with therapeutic energies of 70 – 250 MeV. These beams are then transported to the patient via magnetic transferlines and a rotatable beamline, called gantry, which are large and bulky. PT requires huge capex, limiting it to only a few big centres worldwide treating much less than 1% of radiotherapy patients. The new particle acceleration by ultra-intense laser pulses occurs on micrometer scales, potentially enabling more compact PT facilities and increasing their widespread. These laser-accelerated proton (LAP) bunches have been observed recently with energies of up to 90 MeV and scaling models predict LAP with therapeutic energies with the next generation petawatt laser systems. Challenges: Intense pulses with maximum 10 Hz repetition rate, broad energy spectrum, large divergence and short duration characterize LAP beams. In contrast, conventional accelerators generate mono-energetic, narrow, quasi-continuous beams. A new multifunctional gantry is needed for LAP beams with a capture and collimation system to control initial divergence, an energy selection system (ESS) to filter variable energy widths and a large acceptance beam shaping and scanning system. An advanced magnetic technology is also required for a compact and light gantry design. Furthermore, new dose deposition models and treatment planning systems (TPS) are needed for high quality, efficient dose delivery. Materials and Methods: In conventional dose modelling, mono-energetic beams with decreasing energies are superimposed to deliver uniform spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP). The low repetition rate of LAP pulses puts a critical constraint on treatment time and it is highly inefficient to utilize conventional dose models. It is imperative to utilize unique LAP beam properties to reduce total treatment times. A new 1D Broad Energy Assorted depth dose Deposition (BEAD) model was developed. It could deliver similar SOBP by superimposing several LAP pulses with variable broad energy widths. The BEAD model sets the primary criteria for the gantry, i.e. to filter and transport pulses with up to 20 times larger energy widths than conventional beams for efficient dose delivery. Air-core pulsed magnets can reach up to 6 times higher peak magnetic fields than conventional iron-core magnets and the pulsed nature of laser-driven sources allowed their use to reduce the size and weight of the gantry. An isocentric gantry was designed with integrated laser-target assembly, beam capture and collimation, variable ESS and large acceptance achromatic beam transport. An advanced clinical gantry was designed later with a novel active beam shaping and scanning system, called ELPIS. The filtered beam outputs via the advanced gantry simulations were implemented in an advanced 3D TPS, called LAPCERR. A LAP beam gantry and TPS were brought together for the first time, and clinical feasibility was studied for the advanced gantry via tumour conformal dose calculations on real patient data. Furthermore, for realization of pulsed gantry systems, a first pulsed beamline section consisting of prototypes of a capturing solenoid and a sector magnet was designed and tested at tandem accelerator with 10MeV pulsed proton beams. A first air-core pulsed quadrupole was also designed. Results: An advanced gantry with the new ELPIS system was designed and simulated. Simulated results show that achromatic beams with actively selectable beam sizes in the range of 1 – 20 cm diameter with selectable energy widths ranging from 19 – 3% can be delivered via the advanced gantry. ELPIS can also scan these large beams to a 20 × 10 cm2 irradiation field. This gantry is about 2.5 m in height and about 3.5 m in length, which is about 4 times smaller in volume than the conventional PT gantries. The clinical feasibility study on a head and neck tumour patient shows that these filtered beams can deliver state-of-the-art 3D intensity modulated treatment plans.
Experimental characterization of a prototype pulsed beamline section was performed successfully and the synchronization of proton pulse with peak magnetic field in the individual magnets was established. This showed the practical applicability and feasibility of pulsed beamlines. The newly designed pulsed quadrupole with three times higher field gradients than iron-core quadrupoles is already manufactured and will be tested in near future. Conclusion: The main hurdle towards laser-driven PT is a laser accelerator providing beams of therapeutic quality, i.e. energy, intensity, stability, reliability. Nevertheless, the presented advanced clinical gantry design presents a complete beam transport solution for future laser-driven sources and shows the prospect and limitations of a compact laser-driven PT facility. Further development in the LAP-CERR is needed as it has the potential to utilize advanced beam controls from the ELPIS system and optimize doses on the basis of advanced dose schemes, like partial volume irradiation, to bring treatment times further down. To realize the gantry concept, further research, development and testing in higher field and higher (up to 10 Hz) repetition rate pulsed magnets to cater therapeutic proton beams is crucial.

Full textAbstract:
Overhead cranes are widely used in industry for transportation of heavy loads and are
common industrial structures used in building construction, factories, and harbors,
traditionally operated by experienced crane operators. The underlyng system consists
of three main components: trolley, bridge, and gantry. Basically, the system is a
trolley with pendulum. In normal operation, the natural sway of crane payloads is
detrimental to the safe and efficient action. Other external disturbances parameters,
wind for example, also affect the controller performance. Basically, a crane system is an
underactuated system. This makes the design of its controllers complicated. Usually,
this is done via the crane acceleration required for motion. The most important issues
in crane motion are high positioning accuracy, short transportation time, small sway
angle, and high safety.
The main goal of this thesis is to achieve a robust controller design procedure, based on
H∞ control theory, for a nonlinear model of a 3-D gantry crane system. The approach
shall be compared with classic controllers in terms of attenuating the perturbation on
the payload transportation. The model describes the position of the load, as well as the
time derivatives of the position. In vew of this, flatness-based feedforward control has
to be devised, accompanied by the design of an optimal linear and nonlinear feedback
controller. The nomnal states can be used as optimization parameters and restrictions
on stability, overshoot, position regulation, and oscillation angle, being independent of
the load mass and depending on the rope length.
The procedure is as follows. First, a dynamic nonlinear model of the system is obtained
using the Lagrange equations of motion which describe the simultaneous travelling,
crossing, lifting motions and the resultant load swing of the crane. Then, the system
is exactly linearised by a dynamic extension. Next the closed-loop system, based on
the linear quadratic regulator scheme, is probed and compared with the H∞ robust
control system for compensating modeling errors and/or internal and external perturbation.
Finally, simulation results are presented showing the efficiency of the proposed
controller design scheme. Results are provided to illustrate the improved performance
of the nonlinear controllers over classic pole placement and linear quadratic regulator
approaches, testing its fast input tracking capability, precise payload positioning and
minimal sway motion.<br>Kräne werden in der Industrie für den Transport schwerer Lasten eingesetzt. Man
findet sie im Hochbau, Fabriken und Häfen. Traditionell werden sie von erfahrenen
Kranführer betrieben. Das der Arbeit zugrunde liegende Kransystem besteht aus drei
Hauptkomponenten: Transporteinheit, Brücke und Gerüst. Im Regelbetrieb ist das
Schwingen von Krannutzlasten einer sicheren und effizienten Nutzung abträglich. Auch
andere externe Störparameter wie beispielsweise der Wind haben einen Einfluss auf die
Kontrollierbarkeit eines Krans. Grundsätzlich ist ein Kransystem ein unteraktuiertes
System. Deshalb verkompliziert sich im Allgemeinen der Entwurf einer Regelung, meist
auf Basis der Kranbeschleunigung. Regelziele bei der Kranbewegung sind u.a. eine hohe
Positioniergenauigkeit, kurze Transportzeit, kleine Pendelwinkel und hohe Sicherheit.
Das Hauptziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist der Entwurf einer robusten Reglung, gründend
auf der H∞-Regelungsttheorie, für ein nichtlineares Modell eines 3-D-Portalkran-
Systems. Das Verfahren soll mit dem klassischen Controllerdesign verglichen und
resultierende Regelungsprobleme infolge von Störungen im Nutzlasttransport untersucht
werden. Das Modell beschreibt die Position der Last sowie deren zeitliche
Ableitungen. Davon kann das Problem für den Entwurf einer flachheitsbasierten Vorsteuerung
abgeleitet werden, die dann mit einer optimalen, linearen bzw. nichtlinearen
Regelung verbunden wird. Die nominalen Zustände können als Optimierungsparameter
und Beschränkungen für die Stabilität, Überschwingen, Positionsregelung
und Schwingungswinkel verwendet werden, unabhängig von der Lastmaße und in Abhängigkeit
von der Seillänge.
Dabei wird wie folgt vorgegangen: Zunächst wird ein nichtlineares Systemmodell mit
Hilfe der Lagrange-Gleichungen erstellt. Dann wird das System mit Hilfe einer dynamischen
Erweiterung exakt linearisiert. Als nächstes wird der geschlossene Regelkreis
auf Basis der linear-quadratischen Regelung untersucht und mit einer robusten H∞
Regelung zur Kompensation von Modellierungsfehlern oder systeminterner und -externe
Störung verglichen. Schließlich werden Simulationsergebnisse vorgestellt, welche die
Wirksamkeit des Entwurfes belegen. Ein Ergebnis st dabei die verbesserte Leistung
des nichtlinearen Reglers gegenüber dem klassischen Regler. Dies wird anhand einer
Fähigkeit zu Verfolgung einesr schnellen Bahn, der Präzision der Positionierung und
der minimalen Einflussbewegung der Nutzlast dargestellt.<br>Tesis

Att deras företag har en historia bakom sig, något att berätta i sitt varumärke, spelar troligen en stor roll i denna framgång. Syftet med detta arbete är att göra en kartläggning över Gant som företag samt deras marknadsföring och kundgrupp. Detta för att få förståelse för hur de arbetar för att nå långsiktig framgång i den hårda modebranschen. För att ta reda på detta har följande frågor ställts:1.Vad gör Gant som är unikt för att nå framgång på den konkurrenskraftiga marknaden? 2.Vad har varumärket för betydelse för Gants positionering i kundens medvetande?3.Hur jobbar Gant med att marknadsföra sig ut mot kund?4.Vilka är Gants typiska kunder?För att svara på dessa frågor har det varit nödvändigt att använda sig av en kombination av en kvalitativ och en kvantitativ metod. Den kvalitativa i form av intervjuer och den kvantitativa i form av en enkätundersökning, detta för att styrka den sekundärdata som insamlats. Rapporten har ett hermeneutisktiskt förhållningssätt då det handlar om att tolka texter, intervjuer och den utförda enkätundersökningen. Varumärket Gant bygger på en historia om dess amerikanska ursprung och denna historia genomsyrar allt i företaget. Varumärket står för en livsstil vars värderingar präglas av integritet, elegans, karaktär, samförstånd och optimism. I arbetet med att bygga upp ett starkt varumärke har det varit en självklarhet för Gant att vara konsekventa i sin marknadskommunikation. Detta för att konsumenten alltid ska känna igen sig och veta vad Gant står för. Historien bakom Gant är även grunden i all marknadsföring, i vilken det handlar om att förmedla en livsstil och en känsla bakom varumärket. Även om Gant har en väldigt spridd målgrupp är det främst en önskan om god kvalitet och design som kunden värdesätter. De personer som handlar Gant gör det främst på grund av den kvalitet, design och livsstil som Gant erbjuder.Under arbetets gång har det framkommit att bakom Gants framgång ligger en välbevarad historia som alltid har haft en avgörande roll i företagets utveckling. Kontinuitet i allt de tar sig för medför också en stadig grund och ger trygghet åt varumärket. Utöver detta har Gant en otroligt väluttänkt och välgenomförd marknadsföring som ger deras kunder känslan av en uppnåelig dröm. Gants framgång kan alltså sammanfattas med orden: en unik historia, den rätta känslan, en strategisk marknadsföring och kontinuitet i alla delar.<br><p>The fashion industry is a constantly changing industry with a high tempo.

För människan är det viktigt att tillhöra en grupp, vilket bidrar till att det skapas en märkeshets, där till exempel skjortmärket talar om för andra vilka vi är och vad vi står för.Då konkurrensen har ökat är det viktigare för företagen att jobba med långsiktiga kundrelationeroch aktivt jobba med att locka till sig nya kunder, samt behålla dem. I dag är det större konkurrens om kunderna, därför blir erbjudande företagen förmedlar allt viktigare. Lägger företaget ner tid på att få fram ett bra erbjudande och differentierar sig blir kommunikationen till kunden tydligare vilket i sin tur leder till att företaget får tillfredsställda kunder och högre omsättning. Ett företag måste kunna erbjuda något mer än enbart den fysiska produkten för att höja värdet hos kunden.Vårt huvudproblem och delproblem i uppsatsen är:- Vilka betydelsefulla delar bör ingå i GANT´s erbjudande till konsumenten för att åstadkomma positiva attityder och beteenden?- På vilket sätt kommunicerar GANT sitt erbjudande för att nå fram till konsumenten?Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka, diskutera och analysera vilka beståndsdelar som ska ingå i erbjudandet som riktar sig till GANT konsumenten. Syftet är även att ta reda på hur GANT kommunicerar sitt erbjudande till konsumenterna.Under uppsatsens gång kommer vi att tillämpa teorierna; kundnärhetens nycklar, marknadsmixenoch kommunikationsprocessen. Vi kommer även använda oss av storytelling samt begreppenattityder och beteenden. För att kunna ge svar på vår problemformulering har vi utfört enwebbenkätundersökning, en påstana intervju samt två personliga intervjuer med personer inomföretaget GANT.Vi kommer att avgränsa oss till klädkedjan GANT och till deras dam och herrsortiment. I vår webbenkätundersökning och påstana kommer vi att avgränsa oss till kvinnor och män som någon gång har handlat på GANT.Vi har fått fram att de viktigaste delarna i GANT´s erbjudande som genererar positiva attityder och beteenden är; kvalitet, design och service samt att kunderna är villiga att betala lite mer för att få en bra produkt. Genom våra personliga intervjuer har vi förstått att GANT jobbar med en hög kundnärhet och service samt att de använder sig av traditionell marknadsföring.<br>Program: Butikschef, textil och mode

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe training of automated container gantry crane drivers faces with challenges, such as high safety risks, difficult training, and high learning cost. Therefore, we have designed an intelligent simulation system architecture for automated container quay cranes training based on embedded digital twin technology. This system can be directly embedded into the real quay crane remote control console without changing the original quay crane hardware equipment. It enables real-time switching between virtual quay crane remote control operation simulations and real gantry crane remote control operation, providing training for quay bridge drivers while also accounting for the real quay crane operation in time. To achieve seamless switching between real control and simulation training, we have designed two types of controllers: an automatic quay bridge remote control operation simulation system based on OPC UA communication protocol, and a real quay crane automation controller based on PLC control bus. Both controllers can communicate bidirectionally with the remote control room operating station PLC. Practical application at a wharf has demonstrated that our designed system offers high safety, real operation experience, and significant training effectiveness, effectively improving automated quay crane training outcomes, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDrawing upon an extensive case study of a sports-based, life skills job training program for at-risk youth in Honduras and Guatemala, this chapter examines how program participants described the process of building skills, and how, if at all, this skill-building led to greater well-being. Second, it asks, to what extent are these experiences of program participants aligned with theories of education within the capability approach? These questions are addressed through a qualitative case study that was embedded within an experimental design (a randomized control trial) that took place over 5 years in urban areas of Honduras and Guatemala. The analysis suggests that the combination of exposure to new ideas and information in the three phases of the A Ganar program, coupled with concrete opportunities to test out such ideas, enabled youth to experience changes in their attitudes and behaviors around work, around themselves, and to develop new relationships and friendships. Based on these empirical results, the chapter identifies several elements that might better inform life skills education research and practice in s in the future. These include: (1) conceptualizing life skills as preconditions of capabilities (some of which might be better classified as values); (2) conceptualizing life skills as both ends and means of interventions, and (3) giving more consideration to the conversion factors, meaning the ability to convert resources into functionings, that limit the robustness of capabilities that life skills programs develop.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Opened in 2019, the new Samuel De Champlain Bridge in Montreal, Canada is one of the busiest bridges in North America. The 3.4-km long-span bridge across the St. Lawrence River is comprised of three structures: A 529 m signature span featuring an asymmetric Cable-Stayed Bridge, a 762 m East Approach, and a 2044 m West Approach. Due to its geographical location, this lifeline structure faces unique engineering design challenges including extreme cold temperatures, ice abrasion, de- icing salt attacks, wind, vessel collision, scour, and seismic hazards, while meeting its design life of 125 years. A comprehensive durability plan as well as access and maintenance plans were developed by the design-build team to address material selections, the corrosion protection system, construction quality and inspection, element replacement intervals, and maintenance equipment, including the under-bridge maintenance gantry (UBMG) and electronic superstructure shuttle/ vehicle as keys to the longevity of the bridge.</p>

Full textAbstract:
This paper details the design and development of a low-cost, human-sized, mobile, mechanical gantry for potential use in non-invasive medical imaging procedures. The gantry features two independently-actuated aluminum rings, each capable of supporting a variety of different medical instruments. The gantry described herein was designed to integrate with an existing flat-panel Volume Computed Tomography (CT) scanner to create a hybrid Optical Tomography/Computed Tomography setup to facilitate image coregistration. However, the gantry also has potential utility in MRI coregistration, low-cost CT, laser therapy, and any other applications that necessitate precise, stepwise 360-degree rotary motion around a patient. The total production cost for the gantry, including stock, labor, and assembly, was ∼$15,000. Preliminary tests show that the gantry in open-loop has a positional repeatability to within 70 μm.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In 1987 work was initiated on the Automated Structural Assembly Laboratory (ASAL) at NASA/LaRC to demonstrate the feasibility of robotic construction in orbit. To move itself as the structure grows, the robot is mounted on a carriage that traverses a beam which moves longitudinally, similar to a gantry crane. Gantry motions will be operated by the self-sufficient robot with its wrist roll motion. Interfaces for the robot at each gantry motor shaft are provided for that purpose. Wrist roll is limited by the large and growing number of wires that must communicate thru the wrist joint to connect the end-effector to power, sensory devices, and computation services. Rotation-Rectifiers applied to robot mobility simplify the end-effector to motor shaft interface, reduce the number of interface operations that must be performed, and convert oscillating robot wrist roll motions to continuous rotation in either direction.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses some issues of optimal kinematic design of parallel robot with 3 degrees of freedom. Robot performs translational gantry type motion with a large workspace. The structure’s nominal kinematics is identical to the Linear Delta Robot, the difference being the way which the links are organized. In order to yield a design of the Gantry Parallel Robot with a large workspace volume and good kinematic properties, multi-criteria optimization is used. The objective functions comprise a space utilization index and the inverse conditioning number of the Jacobian matrix. Three different geometrical layouts of the robot are examined and the Pareto optimality between the objective functions is found for several different cases. Pareto-optimal curves showing the relationship between the workspace size and the manipulability are presented as a tool for the designer. The obtained results give a good overview of the kinematic properties of the Gantry Parallel Robot that can be used for designing the parallel structures for various applications.

Full textAbstract:
Stability of a gantry crane was a challenge in its structure design. A new risk-based stability assessment approach was proposed in this paper. Analytical method was introduced firstly, and then finite element method was adopted to evaluate the stability of square bar. In order to verify the finite element models, results of buckling analysis were compared with the results of analytical method. Secondly, this finite element analysis was applied in stability assessment of a gantry crane, and through parameterized analysis risk elements were identified. Finally, risk-based stability assessment was applied to this gantry crane, and neural network algorithm was adopted to evaluate the risk elements which were defined by finite element analysis. The evaluating results were well consistetent with statistical data, which indicated this risk-based stability assessment approach was reliable which showed a potential in engineering application.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes a test rig that is used to design and test sensor suites for unmanned air vehicles (UAV) operating in near-earth like environments such as forests, caves and urban canyons. The test rig employs a six degree-of-freedom gantry. Inside its workspace is a full-scale diorama of the environment. Surrounding the gantry are lamps, fans, and generators to reproduce lighting, rain and obscurants typical of such environments. A sensor pod is mounted at the gantry end-effector. The acquired data is fed into a high-fidelity math model of the real UAV. The output is then used to drive the gantry to move the sensor pod in the real world environment. The net effect is a hardware-in-the-loop system that emulates the real UAV’s motions and responses in near-Earth environments. The test rig is important because there is little to no data on sensor performance metrics of UAV in near-Earth environments.
