Control system of one-axis vibration-insulation platform with gyroscopic-stabilizer

Abstract

The paper deals with stabilization of platform by means of gyroscopes. Whole platform consists of parallelogram, cardan frame and two contra-rotating gyroscopes. Whole system is described with five generalized coordinates and with two cyclic coordinates. During the first phase of the project we created a prototype platform rotating around one axis. Prototype is designed with respect to a simple way to extend the rotation about the second axis. The rotary frame is driven by the force of a gyroscope. Pneumatic motors are used to actuating gyroscopes. Pneumatic springs are used to actuating rotating frame. This paper shows control system of platform and introduces reached results of stabilization. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
