Compensation is made for variations in ambient air pressure and temperature, calorific value, boiler resistance due to fouling and burner performance drift by trimming the air damper with a separate servo motor. 

Electronic air/fuel ratio characterization is becoming available. By driving gas and oil valves and the air damper separately via individual servo motors, electronic units can supervise the relative positions of the motors and provide characterization of air/fuel relationships utilizing an almost infinite number of set points to give close repeatable control. 

The major use of the instrumented press in the operations or production area is for tablet weight monitoring and control. Early research in this field was able to show that the measured force of compression was proportional to the mass of material in the die cavity. This, of course, led to systems that could monitor the uniformity of the peak heights measure, send a signal to a servo motor on the press to adjust the weight control if necessary, and finally turn off the press or... 

While most laboratory conductivity bridges are manually balanced, the Wheatstone bridge circuit also finds use in a variety of conductivity monitors, controllers, and recorders where it is mechanically rebalanced by a servomechanism operated by the detector. Generally in these devices, advantage is taken of the phase shift, which occurs in the detected signal as the bridge is driven through balance by the servo motor. 

In a setup-dominant process, it is important that the development function understand where the setup must be centered (targeted). This information is most useful when instruments can effectively and accurately measure the property of the intermediate material (e.g., powder blend) or dosage unit. This capability is reinforced whenever an instrument reading outside the given specifications causes an equipment response (e.g., activation of a servo motor on a tablet press). Caution limits within the normal product limits are established purposefully to effect this kind of control. 

After filtering, radiation from the monochrometer is focused onto a thermocouple detector. The alternating signal at the detector is amplified and fed to a servo-motor which moves a reference beam attenuator to equalize the intensity of the sample and reference beams. The alternating signal is thereby reduced, producing a state of equilibrium. The absorbance of a sample placed in the sample beam is determined by the extent of movement of the reference beam attenuator. 

In order to get a defined spraying condition the pulsation-free feeding of the liquid product is very important. Therefore the unit is equipped with a servo motor driven metering pump which allows to accurately adjust and control the liquid product feed and operates without any pulsations. 

Most of these devices are actually made rather simply, in that there is a particular cable, like a marionette string, that goes directly from the controls to the hands. But, of course, things also have been made using servo motors, so that the connection between the one thing and the other is electrical rather than mechanical. When you turn the levers, they turn a servo motor, and it changes the electrical currents in the wires, which repositions a motor at the other end. 

Now, I want to build much the same device - a master-slave system which operates electrically. But I want the slaves to be made especially carefully by modern large-scale machinists so that they are one-fourth the scale of the hands that you ordinarily maneuver. So you have a scheme by which you can do things at one-quarter scale anyway - the little servo motors with little hands play with little nuts and bolts they drill little holes they are four times smaller. Aha So I manufacture a quarter-size lathe I manufacture quarter-size tools and I make, at the one-quarter scale, still another set of hands again relatively one-quarter size This is one-sixteenth size, from my point of view. And after I finish doing this I wire directly from my large-scale system, through transformers perhaps, to the one-sixteenth-size servo motors. Thus I can now manipulate the one-sixteenth size hands. 

The contact potential is found by applying an opposing potential until the null point is reached. It is essential that this potential is applied rapidly, in a time much smaller than the time constant of the circuit comprising the condenser and the external resistance. This is achieved by an integrating dc amplifier coupled to a servo motor which actuates a helipoi °. A reproducibility of 0.03 volts is claimed, with results in good agreement with other literature values. 

When the sample absorbs light, its intensity is lowered. Thus the photo electronic cells will receive an intense beam from the reference cell and a weak beam from the sample cell. This results in the generation of pulsating or alternating currents which flow from the photoelectric cells to the electronic amplifier. The amplifier is coupled to a small servo motors which drives an optical wedge into the reference beam rmtil the photo electric cell receive light of equal intensities from the sample as well as the reference beams. 

Micrometers are also useful positioning elements. Although manually operated micrometers are not suitable for most imaging applications, they provide an inexpensive way to acquire current-distance curves and perform substrate modifications (17,18). Submicron positioning is available with differential micrometers. Motorized micrometers are widely available, and micrometers with DC servo motor drives in closed-loop operation (see below) can give excellent results. 

The power supply provides the energy needed to move the different parts of the manipulator. It is of great relevance as it determines the robot s speed, precision and resolution. Not only the type of power source used, but also its location In the system is important. Hydraulic sources are essential when dealing with heavy objects, whereas pneumatic systems are employed when quick movements are required. Robots used in laboratory applications are usually driven by electric energy. An electric servo motor or stepping motor is usually employed depending on whether moderate or light loads are to be handled. 

The interface with the process at the other end of the control loop is made by the final control element. In a vast majority of chemical engineering processes the final control element is an automatic control valve that throttles the flow of a manipulated variable. In mechanical engineering systems the final control element is a hydraulic actuator or an electric servo motor.
