a.
To define:The following examples of telescope aimingcases study given in the problem.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The case study of the initial conditions is given that about a telescope aiming or star tracking mechanism.
Calculation:
A telescope aiming or star tracking mechanism that shows a path generation. A star goes along the sky with a
The working mechanism in the line diagram is shown below.
b.
To define: The following examples bucket control arrangement case study given in the problem.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The case study of the initial conditions is given that about a telescope aiming or star tracking mechanism.
Calculation:
This is motion generation mainly todigging a trench, say; the location and bucket alignment must becontrolled.

- Fundamental of mechatronics technologyarrow_forward1) A slider-crank mechanism is a planar mechanism that performs a conversion between the translational motion of a slider and the rotational motion of a crank. It is used in many different engineering applications. A familiar example will be a piston engine. In Figure 1, a basic slider- crank mechanism is shown. В b dạc Figure 1.

- I want you to draw a ladder logic diagram of a garage door to control it by PLC. In my case we have different inputs and outputs and all of them gotta be used in the diagram. I can perfectly interpret the diagram so no need to explain it, I will just require you to draw it. INPUTS : open push button ( OPB ) - close push button ( CPB ) - open limit switch ( OLS ) - close limit switch ( CLS ) - obstacle detection sensor ( ODS ) - safety sensor ( SS ) - emergency stop push button ( ESPB ) - reset button ( RB ) OUTPUTS : motor starts ( MS ) - motor stops ( MSTP ) - motor forward ( MF ) - motor reverse ( MR ) - Error display ( ER ) OPERATİNG MODES : automatic mode ( AM ) - manual mode ( MM ) NECESSARY TIMERS : T1 ( delay door movement after obstacle detection ) - T2 ( delay door movement after reversing ) Here is my excercise for today. Please I am requiring a good logic diagram taking into consideration all what was mentioned before. so to sum up, I want you to write a logic ladder diagram…arrow_forwardB.
