2.3. Definitions
Platform vibration:
A platform vibration is defined as the combination of the excitation of each actuator in order to
obtain the desired trajectory of parts on the platform. 26 platform vibrations (A – Z) are available.
Each of them is composed of several parameters for each actuator (e.g. amplitude, frequency,
etc.) as well as the vibration duration.
Please refer to chapter 5 on page 16 of this document for more information on platform
vibrations.
Hopper vibration/output activation:
Depending on the Asycube, a hopper is either integrated (Asycube 50 and 80) or not (Asycube
240, 380 and 530). The expression hopper vibration is used in the case of an integrated hopper
and the expression output activation is used for the Asycube 240, 380 and 530.
• Asycube 50/80 (integrated hopper): a hopper vibration corresponds to the excitation of
the actuator in order to obtain the desired trajectory of parts on the hopper. 26 hopper
vibrations (A – Z) are available. Each of them is composed of several parameters (e.g.
amplitude, frequency, vibration duration, etc.).
• Asycube 240/380/530: The Asycube 240/380/530 is equipped with two outputs, which
can be used to drive one or two hoppers or whatever is connected to these outputs. The
Asycube 240/380/530 contains 26 output activations (A – Z). Each of them can be
configured in order to activate or not an output, to select an analogue output value, to set
the duration of the signal etc.
Please refer to chapter 4 on page 13 of this document for more information on hopper
vibrations/output activations.
Standard vibration:
To simplify the configuration of parameters, some platform vibrations and hopper
vibrations/output activations are pre-defined vibrations called standard vibration. In the case of
Asycubes 50 and 80, there are nine standard platform vibrations (A – I) such as for example
‘Forward’, ‘Forward left’, ‘Right’, ‘Backward’ etc. In the case of Asycubes 240, 380 and 530, there
are two additional standard platform vibrations (J and K), which correspond to short and long axis
centring vibrations. Hopper vibrations / output activations present a similar structure.
