Preparazione in vista di UEFA EURO 2008
Il calcetto è un progetto di addestramento presentato nell'Hochschulmobil dell'Università di Bremerhaven
Peter Rohde vuole terminare il suo calcetto prima dei campionati europei di calcio di giugno 2008, in modo tale da completare quanto prima la preparazione in vista di EURO 2008.
As part of his diploma thesis, Peter Rohde is constructing a soccer table in which the opponent is a fully automated computer. The table shows the possibilities of sophisticated automation and highly qualified control technology.
On one side are the challengers (one or two people) who take on the game against their fully automated opponent, who is moved by controlled motors. Sensors and actuators have to respond at lightning speed and are controlled by images from a high-speed camera. This determines the position of the ball and uses this to derive a strategy for the playing figures.
For the construction, igus supplied a high-quality lead screw linear system with high helix lead screw, linear guides that serve as the computer's play rods, and igubal® spherical plain bearings that ensure the flexible mounting of the challenger's play rods.
igus® was chosen as a collaboration partner because of the good cooperation in previous projects. Based on a commercially available soccer table, the investigations quickly revealed that the required dynamics and precision cannot be achieved with the built-in standard bearings. The drylin® R - FJUM-01 bearings meet these two criteria with flying colours and can also be easily integrated into the table. Very low coefficients of friction enable extreme dynamics and the high abrasion resistance in dry operation ensures maintenance-free operation. Furthermore, the bearings are ideally suited for the rotating or oscillating movements of the play rods.
The transverse movement of the rods takes place via high-quality drylin® SHTS lead screw linear guides with high helix lead screw and attached igubal® rod ends. These components were selected because they are extremely delicate. Thus, the view of the human opponent is only minimally restricted and can also be moved quickly and easily.

Il calcetto è esposto al pubblico nel Hochschulmobil dell'Università di Bremerhaven. Hochschulmobil è un vecchio bus del trasporto pubblico convertito in uno stand di una fiera mobile. Sul bus sono mostrati i diversi corsi di studi per visite da parte di scolaresche e studenti di Bremerhaven e dintorni. Il calcetto offre una preparazione eccellente: per gli studenti che possono essere informati sui corsi tecnici e scientifici e per una preparazione professionale in vista dei campionati europei del 2008.
