A guidance method for the motion of mechanisms with flexible parts
A new method is introduced for guiding the motion of mechanisms with flexible parts. Compared to closed-loop control methods, it enables simplicity in the design of the mechanism and thus reduced cost and complexity. The method can be easily implemented even on existing mechanisms, requiring minimal computational cost and knowledge of their dynamic parameters and it is easily adjustable, leading to guidance functions properly adapted to the specific flexible part requirements.
