2DOF Ball Balancer Product Information
2DOF Ball Balancer Product Information
images of the plate and is used with the supplied Quanser image processing blocks to obtain the x and y positions of the ball. Images are transferred quickly to the PC via a FireWire connection. The plate is also connected through gimbals to the load gear of two SRV02 units in order to control the angular position of the plate about the x and y axes. With the controller provided, the ball can be made to track various trajectories, e.g. circle, or even stabilize the ball when it is thrown onto the plate.
Key Features Fully compatible with MATLAB/Simulink & LabVIEW Chassis is precision crafted and constructed of durable ABS plastic. High-resolution encoders for accurate sensing and positioning of table plate in 2D plane High resolution, high quality, fast frame rate CCD digital camera with FireWire connection to allow quick real-time sensing of object position in 2D plane Quanser image processing software and library for use in The Mathworks Simulink User manual details the hardware specifications of the device along with setup information. Laboratory manual features modeling, sensor calibration, and control design exercises. System is open architecture, allowing users to design their own controller.

The SRV02 series serve as the base of Quansers Rotary Control Challenges. Quansers modular design approach allows you to readily interchange additional modules, transforming the SRV02 into a multitude of different configurations.

All SRV02 models are supplied with additional gears to configure the required ratio as well as an extra set of external loads to vary the inertia. The following models are available:
Model SRV02 SRV02-E SRV02-EHR SRV02-ET SRV02-ETS Description Standard Servo plant. Instrumented with a continuous turn potentiometer to measure output/load angular position. Same as the SRV02 with an optical encoder measuring the output shaft position. Same as the SRV02 model equipped with a high resolution optical encoder to acquire high precision position data. Same as the SRV02-E with a tachometer attached to measure the speed of the motor. Same as the SRV02-ET but with a slip-ring mounted to the load gear allowing a continuous 360 motion.
