In the manufacturing industry, material handling is an important link. As a device that can automatically complete material handling tasks, automatic material handling machines have been widely used in various production lines and processing processes. As an important part of automatic material handling machines, integrated motors provide important support for the automation and efficiency of material handling machines. This article will introduce in detail the application of integrated stepper servo motors in automatic material handling machines.

 

01.Equipment Introduction

Take the electronic component handling machine as an example. The handling equipment designed for the pin packaging process is suitable for handling between different carriers, and is suitable for TO56 and other similar products.

The different pin-setting mechanisms are designed to meet customer needs; visual positioning is used to locate the position and angle of the tube socket; the carrier workbench is highly programmable and suitable for a variety of carriers; the loading and unloading assembly line can be customized according to customer needs.

(1) It is mainly composed of a handling manipulator, a leg adjustment mechanism, a carrier workbench, and a visual component

(2) The handling manipulator contains four-directional motion mechanisms in XYZT, and a buffer mechanism is added to prevent damage to the pins

(3) The leg adjustment mechanism can be customized according to customer requirements

(4) The carrier workbench contains two height-adjustable workbenches

(5) The brightness of the light source in the visual component can be programmably controlled

In automatic material handling machines, the application of integrated stepper servo motors can greatly improve the performance and efficiency of the equipment.

The integrated stepper servo motor is a new type of motor that combines the advantages of stepper motors and servo motors. It has the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, high reliability, and low noise, and is suitable for occasions that require high-speed and high-precision motion.

In automatic material handling machines, the integrated stepper servo motor can achieve fast and accurate material transportation and handling, improving the production efficiency and operating stability of the equipment.

The application of integrated stepper servo motor can realize multiple functions of automatic material handling machine. For example, it can realize accurate positioning and control of material conveying, ensuring that there will be no deviation or leakage of materials during the conveying process.

At the same time, it can also realize rapid acceleration and deceleration of materials, improving the operation efficiency and production capacity of the equipment.

In addition, the integrated stepper servo motor can also realize automatic sorting and classification of materials, making the operation of the automatic material handling machine more intelligent and efficient.

02.Solution

The CANopen bus control method is adopted in the automatic material handling machine control system, and the STM57 integrated stepper servo motor is matched to simplify the wiring, connect multiple motors to each other, and improve the communication rate.

Motor Model:STM5741B

Control mode: contour speed/position mode

Through precise position and torque control, as well as efficient energy conversion and utilization efficiency, the company has successfully improved the production efficiency of the equipment and reduced production costs.

[Advantages of integrated stepper servo motor]

High integration improves the portability of equipment: the integrated stepper servo motor integrates functional modules such as stepper motor, servo driver, encoder and controller, which greatly reduces the size and weight of the equipment. At the same time, it simplifies system wiring and reduces potential fault points.

Flexibility meets diverse needs: the integrated stepper servo motor supports CANopen/Modbus communication, and can be flexibly controlled and adjusted as needed to adapt to different work needs.

High-precision positioning improves measurement accuracy: the integrated stepper servo motor has high positioning accuracy and can achieve high-precision positioning of mobile devices.

Multiple control modes: support PP, VM, PV, PT, HM, IP, CSP, CSV, CST standard mode; support NiMotion position mode, NiMotion speed mode, NiMotion torque mode.

High-speed response improves equipment efficiency: the integrated stepper servo motor has a fast response speed and can quickly adjust the angle and position of the equipment. This means that the robot can obtain environmental information more quickly, improving the working efficiency and responsiveness of the equipment.

Complete alarm function: The integrated step servo motor can detect hardware failures in time to avoid affecting system operation. It is equipped with multiple safety protection functions. The LED flashing alarm can intuitively display the current status of the motor. It also has protection functions such as overvoltage/undervoltage, overheating, overcurrent, and stall alarm.
