I'm trying to control the torque applied to a link of a robot by changing the input voltage accross the motor terminals. This is a regulation problem.
I have the time based load velocity and torque load profiles available. I have converted these to the motor shaft and now need to size a dc motor.
The motor is also supposed to be able provide this velocity and torque profiles.
I plan on matching the maximum required torque with 1/2*stall torque to ensure that the motor will be able to provide the max available torque in its optimum range. Is this a reasonable way to do this?
My problem now is matching the velocity profile. Apparently, my simulations show that maximum load velocity (shaft) velocity occurs during times of max torque. Does this mean that i should simply make sure the motor will be capable of spinnning at this maximum velocity during during the times of high torque/velocity?
Will the software provided by motionvillage.com help me size a motor?
Thank You.
