Pioneering spirit from study times strengthens control engineering laboratory
On behalf of the Technical University of Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS), Prof. Dr. Abid Ali sincerely thanks Mr. Johannes Glaser for the transfer of the experimental setup 'Ball Scale' to the control engineering laboratory.
Over ten years ago, the then electrical engineering student of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering showed exceptional commitment. Instead of limiting himself to the required control of an existing experimental setup, he independently developed and built a completely new control loop. Together with his fellow student Daniel Neeser, a challenging setup - the 'Ball Scale' - was created. This teaching model now allows our students to learn the theoretical foundations of control engineering in a practical way. The aim of the experiment is to design a stable control loop that regulates a metal ball to the center of a seesaw using a propeller drive.
We are excited about this valuable addition to our control engineering laboratory and appreciate Mr. Glaser's contribution to the practical training of our students. We wish him much success and all the best for the future as a self-employed engineer. His commitment is a shining example of the connection between theory and practice, which we particularly promote at our university.
