Master Thesis Work for Identification of resonance frequency

e product, the segments, and the guide-system. The resonance frequencies may change over time, e.g., before and after the processing of the product, and may be position-dependent, e.g., different stiffness of the guide-system in different areas of the assembly. In any case, if excited, these resonances yield to increased wear and/or spilling of the transported product. To prevent their excitation, map Trak supports filtering of the set position by either a jerk filter (moving average filter) or a zero-vibration filter (basically a notch-filter). As the filter time limits the dynamics of the system, it is crucial to tune the filter as accurate as possible. The parameters of the filters are currently determined based on simplified product models or dedicated experiments followed by offline-identification procedures. Task of the project is to implement a simple approach to identify the resonance frequencies of the system and thereby answer the following questions: • Is an online identification possible? • What is the minimum set of measurements required for identification? Is it possible to identify the resonance frequency based on pure PLC measurements? How does the results compare, if enriched by additional segment (FW) measurements? • Are the resonance frequencies position dependent? • Is an implementation in the PLC possible (User-Library)? Apart from the resonance frequencies, the approach may also serve to identify the product load and the damping(s) of the system. Details: • Jan-June • 30Hp • 2 students • Location not specified. • In collaboration with Headquarters in Austria but handled from Sweden.
