Application of integrated servo motor in pipeline inspection robot

NaN-NaN-NaN views

 

The application of integrated servo motors in pipeline inspection robots is gaining more and more attention. Pipeline inspection robots are intelligent devices that can perform inspections and maintenance inside pipelines. They can detect internal structures, leaks, corrosion and other problems of pipelines to ensure the safety and stable operation of pipelines. As the power source of the robot, the integrated servo motor is crucial to the precise control and motion performance of the robot.

 

01.Equipment Introduction

Pipeline robot system composition

The pipeline robot system is mainly composed of a crawler, a wire-reeling vehicle, a control terminal, and a wireless operation box.

Crawler equipment composition

Crawler: Suitable for small pipe diameters; the vehicle body can be equipped with a lifting frame and replaceable tires of different sizes to meet the needs of detecting pipes of different diameters; it can be equipped with a widened chassis to meet the needs of different operating scenarios; it has good sealing and waterproof performance.

Equipment composition of wire take-up vehicle

Portable wire take-up vehicle: centimeter-level meter device, movable universal wheel design, servo high-torque motor, optional electric wire take-up, one-button emergency stop device.

Control terminal equipment composition

Control terminal: high brightness resolution, touch screen; support for multi-language text, number and character input; large-capacity hard disk memory; multiple ports, etc.

The pipeline inspection is directed by the ground control console. It can easily move its body forward, backward, left and right. The "head" with a camera can rotate, and a pair of "eyes" can also light up the surroundings. It crawls in the pipeline while turning its little head, and everything captured by this "eye" is clearly displayed on the screen of the main controller.

The system will automatically record the crawling distance and accurately locate the specific location of defects in the pipeline. It can also automatically generate a report for a specified section based on the set conditions, or generate a report time period for a certain section of the detected pipeline, which is convenient and quick.

02.解决方案

The portable wire-reeling vehicle can be equipped with an integrated servo motor, which can save installation space, facilitate wiring, support speed control mode and torque control mode, and better realize the free wire-reeling and wire-reeling.

In order to improve production efficiency and product quality, an electronics manufacturing company decided to transform the original pipeline machinery and equipment. During the transformation process, the company introduced an integrated servo motor to replace the original split servo system.

Through precise speed and torque control, as well as efficient energy conversion and utilization, the company has successfully improved the production efficiency of the equipment and reduced production costs. At the same time, it has successfully improved the stability and reliability of the equipment and reduced the failure rate of the equipment.

Motor Model:PMM6040B

Control mode: contour speed mode

03.Advantages of integrated servo motor

High integration improves the portability of equipment: The integrated servo motor integrates functional modules such as servo 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 failure points.

Flexibility to meet diverse needs: The integrated servo motor supports CANopen/Modbus communication and can be flexibly controlled and adjusted as needed to adapt to different work requirements.

High-precision positioning improves measurement accuracy: The integrated servo motor has high positioning accuracy and can achieve high-precision positioning of mobile equipment.

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

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

Complete alarm function: The integrated 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.
