This paper presents the development of an additional module for the mechatronic vibration stand SM-2M at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The module is designed to conduct experimental studies of various technological processes, including sieving, material mixing, and granulation. To evaluate the dynamic characteristics of the system, a virtual model of the equipment was developed, which includes elements of technological tooling represented by a working table accounting for its own mass. The model was implemented using the ADAMS.View software package, providing capabilities for visualization and dynamic analysis of the system. Testing of the novel mechanical design was carried out via co-simulation methodology, integrating a proportional-integral control algorithm implemented in MATLAB/Simulink with the physical model of the mechanical part realized in ADAMS. Several virtual experiments addressing the control of rotational speed and angular displacement of the drive motors of the vibrational setup equipped with technological tools and bulk materials are presented. Graphical dependencies depicting variations in motor rotation frequencies and trajectories of motion of the center of mass of the working components based on virtual sensor readings are provided. The results facilitate implementation of modern control methods, enhancing technology reliability and efficiency.
