Parametric Identification of a Positioning System for a Billets Unloading Machine

Abstract In this paper we present a parametric method for the identification of a horizontal positioning system for a billets unloading machine. The input-output models are obtained on the experimental models and on the priori information of the process. The obtained models are represented as second-order underdamped systems. The assessment of the models is made via simulation and a best fit model follows. In order to improve the current process performances, new automatic control structures for the positioning process can be derived using the determined model
