Ball and Beam Control Trainer

The Ball and Beam Control Trainer is a sophisticated educational device designed to demonstrate and teach principles of control engineering and dynamic system stability. This trainer system typically consists of a horizontal beam, a freely moving ball, and a control system interface.

The horizontal beam serves as the track for the ball, and the objective is to control the position of the ball on the beam using various control strategies. The control system interface allows users to implement and experiment with different control algorithms, such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, to regulate the position of the ball.
