- We are revamping the full qualifications for the Graduate Diploma courses. Applicants can still sign up for the individual modules under the specialisations.
- This module is offered under the Mechatronics specialisation.
Introduction
This course equips participants with the fundamental tools needed to analyse, design and tune controllers with in-depth analysis of key considerations for precision control, such as uncertainty analysis, noise sources and filtering, and metrology and error sources, to name a few. The knowledge gained will enhance the participant’s ability to increase machines’ performance in terms of precision, accuracy, speed and reliability. The participants will also gain awareness of the capabilities of various high-tech equipment and, latest concepts at the forefront of precision engineering for actuation and sensing. Various case studies on error compensation, self-calibration, as well as practical implementation for control in some technology areas such as voice coil motors and permanent magnet linear motors will be used to impart the techniques which can be applied immediately to engineering issues in the day-to-day operation.
Why This Course
- Designed specifically based on local industry demand
- Highly practical and intensive
- Latest knowledge and up-to-date technologies
- Case studies highlighting industrial applications
- Expert trainers in the field with industrial experience
