J. Malczyk et al., DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTELLIGENT MOTION CONTROLLER AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE AUTOMATION OF A MCBAIN-BAKR BALANCE, Journal of automatic chemistry, 15(5), 1993, pp. 183-187
This paper presents a modular approach to motion control using a micro
controller-based stepper motor driver. As an application of the driver
, an inexpensive and portable one-dimensional robot re,as built to aut
omate an existing experimental setup for measurement of adsorption iso
therms using the McBain-Bakr technique. Automatic recording of positio
n-versus time yields data for the study of adsorption/desorption dynam
ics.
