A study for horizontal control of the Tornado using PWM method

PWM을 이용한 토네이도의 수평제어

Casing Oscillator is a construction machine that used to insert casings which is based on construction of a building or bridge into the ground. The purpose of using casing supports a pile or in case when heavy loads and moments happens. It is very important that the casings are retaining perpendicular to sea level regardless of the slope of the ground. So it requires that Casing Oscillator keep horizontality. But, it was useless a horizontal control without another heavy equipment. Tornado is a type of Casing Oscillator to advance. It controls horizontality with 4 cylinders. Those cylinders controlled by high-speed solenoid valves. This paper represents horizontal control of the Tornado using Kinematics. First. the horizontal control simulated by AMESim, which is simulation tool. then it compared with experimental results.
