In this paper an Innovative scheme for reduction of Power Requirement of Electromechanical Servo Drive used in heavy load weapon system articulation is presented. An electromechanical servo drive system is used for raising and lowering of heavy load weapon system for positioning it at predefined angle. Power requirement of this Servo Drive is very large due to heavy load. To reduce the power and torque requirement an innovative scheme with torsion bar is used. Torsion bar stores energy during lowering of load and releases it during raising the load. In this paper, application and design of torsion bar scheme is discussed which is used in a prestigious weapon system program.
In this paper Electromechanical Simulator for Weapon System Launching Platform is presented. A weapon system launching platform requires freedom of movement in seven axes. It has to move in four axes for levelling, vertical and horizontal axes for articulating the launching platform and up and down sliding of the launching structure or weapon article. All these movements are simulated using Electromechanical Servo Drive in a Simulator for training and experimental study purposes of the personnel involved in development and handling of weapons system launching platform. Electromechanical servo drive requires position feedback, velocity feedback and current feedback to move a system in desired direction in specified time following predefined motion profile. In this paper, Launcher Simulator with Electromechanical servo drive system is discussed. This Simulator is designed and developed for simulating the real scenario working requirements of a weapon system launching platform. .
