Title:

PRECISE POSITION CONTROLLED ACTUATING METHOD AND SYSTEM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2003000429

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A system for actuating a spray pump assembly (102) comprises a reference platform (104), a motor (106), a drive transmission (108), a spray pump holder (110), a force coupler, a force transducer (112), and a system controller (114). The motor (106) receives a power and control input, and produces a rotary drive output. The drive transmission (108) receives the rotary drive output and produces a linear drive output. The spray pump holder (110) secures the spray pump assembly (102). The system controller (114) receives a set of test inputs and provides the control input to the motor as a function of the set of test inputs. The system actuates the spray pump mechanism according to an actuation profile defined by a set of test inputs.
