The Coupled Tanks system is a process control experiment ideal for teaching and research of control topics related to liquid level control.
Test & Measurement
Signals from complete physical systems
Quanser’s testing and measurement labs let you teach the fundamentals of sensors, signal conditioning, and computer-based data acquisition in multiple domains.
Measurement and instrumentation is a fundamental topic in engineering. Without accurate and reliable measurement quantities such as temperature, strain, pressure, and position we will not be able to reliably monitor and control processes. Having an in-depth understanding of the concepts allows engineers to design, implement, and maintain complex engineering systems. Quanser’s measurement and instrumentation solutions allow you to teach the fundamentals of sensors, signal conditioning, and computer-based data acquisition.

A critical component of any mechatronics course or program is an understanding of the theory and application of sensors used in mechatronic systems. The Quanser Mechatronic Sensors Board introduces students to various sensors that measure pressure, strain, temperature, contact, distance, angular displacement, and dynamics.

The Rotary Flexible Joint module is ideal for modeling a flexible joint on a robot when mounted on the Rotary Servo Base Unit. It is also useful in the study of vibration analysis and resonance. This experiment uses a sensor to measure joint deflection, to address the control problems encountered in large, geared robot joints where flexibility is exhibited in the gearbox. Students will learn how to model the system using state-space and design a feedback controller with pole-placement.
