Application of integrated stepper motor in automatic folding machine

2024-11-1748 views

With the continuous development of science and technology, robot technology is becoming more and more mature, and intelligence and automation have become the development trend of modern industry. Under this trend, automatic folding machines, as an efficient and accurate printing equipment, are widely used in the production of various printed materials. As one of the key components of the automatic folding machine, the integrated stepper motor is more and more widely used.

 

01. Equipment Introduction

Fully automatic folding machine

Fully automatic folding machine

Automatic folding machine is a kind of mechanical equipment for folding paper, it needs high precision and high speed motor to drive. It is used in the design range of a variety of different sizes and thickness of paper folding equipment, suitable for rapid printing centers, production enterprises, official documents, business letters of large quantities of folding.

The paper feeding mechanism is divided into flat paper device and continuous paper feeding device, which is mainly responsible for the task of separating and conveying paper, and can accurately transport the printed page to the folding part.

Folding mechanism is mainly composed of folding roller and folding fence.

The paper receiving mechanism adopts the form of mobile paper receiving trolley, and the height and Angle can be adjusted according to the origami style.

02. Solution

In the automatic folding machine, STM42-M integrated stepper (servo) motor and STM57-M integrated stepper (servo) motor can be matched to achieve accurate position control.

Integrated stepper motor is mainly used in the key parts of the folding machine such as paper feed, positioning, folding and paper out, which can achieve high-precision motion control and positioning, making the folding accuracy and speed of the folding machine significantly improved.
