Understand and solve motion and vibration challenges in mechatronic systems

Unwanted motion and vibrations can significantly compromise system accuracy. Our Dynamics & Control expertise provides the insight and methods to analyse, model and control both dynamic behaviour and motion performance. Whether during development, redesign or field troubleshooting. The approach is grounded in simulation, validation and practical design measures.

System Dynamics & Control

System Dynamics addresses vibration-related challenges in mechatronic systems. Uncontrolled vibrations often arise from a combination of environmental factors and suboptimal design choices in the dynamic architecture. These issues can limit system performance and accuracy. We apply numerical simulations and experimental validation to gain deep insights into dynamic behavior, enabling targeted design improvements. This methodology supports the development of new systems, redesigns of existing platforms, and troubleshooting in operational environments. Our approach offers reliable solutions to enhance dynamic performance, whether by adjusting architecture, incorporating damping techniques, or identifying dominant disturbance sources.
