Tidal simulation assists scientists
Unique abilities of the RT3 along with the support provided by Reliance allow the scientists to concentrate on the research without having to spend time controlling and verifying the test system
Scientists from London's Imperial College are using the new RT3 version of the Reliance Cool Muscle Nema 23 integrated servo system to reproduce the sub-surface pressure changes created by lunar tides in laboratory research experiments directed at improving oil recovery The compact closed loop motor system has unique abilities to share I/Os, perform complex coordinated motion and use mathematical notation to perform motion

The model allows designers to simulate the performance of a particular QMF configuration and optimise nine basic parameters of their QMF design for optimum sensitivity, resolution and peak shape
The onboard memory and logic banks along with the integrated tuners, vector drive, amplifiers, 32 bit RISC processor and 50,000 count magnetic encoder provide an intelligent motor which delivers cool running and smooth motion.
The computing power on the motor system is capable of creating an inverse cosine motion on a linear slide over a selectable time scale.
Using this feature the scientists are able to replicate the lunar tides found in underground oil reservoirs for their experiments.
