Labtronic offers the linear servo base unit, which can be paired with pendulums for various experiments, including the classic inverted pendulum experiment. In this setup, trainees design a controller to balance a vertical rod by adjusting the cart’s position. Additionally, the unit can simulate a gantry crane, a movable platform used for transporting goods in warehouses or shipping yards. In this application, the cart acts as the gantry platform, while the pendulum represents the crane. This versatile setup provides hands-on experience with control systems and modeling in real-world scenarios, enhancing both practical and theoretical learning.
