Let me put this out there first: I have never posted under this topic before. I am basically clueless to robotics and automation so please forgive my ignorance. I'd like to ask a very specific question but I haven't the foggiest idea where to begin so I'm just going to wing it.
Anyways, I am trying to use an electric linear actuator to push glass tubes off of some rollers and into a tray. I watched a video and see how they work but I need to know how to program the stroke length, have it automatically reverse at that set stroke length and then time it to repeat this process every X seconds.
If the answer to my inquiry requires a thorough explanation beyond a simple forum response I'd be happy with any links you could send me to that would help me figure this out.
Thank you all very much in advance.
