NaN-NaN-NaN views

 

With the rapid development of logistics and manufacturing industries, sorting machines are being used more and more widely. As a common sorting equipment, the pendulum wheel sorter is highly efficient, accurate, and flexible, and is widely used in various logistics sorting scenarios. The application of integrated servo motors in the pendulum wheel sorter provides new possibilities for performance improvement and optimization of the sorter.

 

01.Equipment Introduction

Image source: Internet

The balance wheel sorter is a device that sorts items by controlling the rotation angle and speed of the balance wheel. In the balance wheel sorter, each balance wheel is driven by a motor, and the motor speed and direction control the rotation angle and direction of the balance wheel, thereby sorting different items.

Drive system

As a highly integrated, high-precision and high-efficiency driving device, the integrated servo motor can provide stable output torque and speed for the drive system of the balance wheel sorter. The application of the integrated servo motor in the drive system of the balance wheel sorter can achieve smooth start-up, precise control and efficient operation of the balance wheel, thus improving the sorting efficiency.

Control System

The high-precision control and fast response characteristics of the integrated servo motor make it an ideal choice for the control system of the balance wheel sorter. By using it in conjunction with a PLC or motion control card, it can achieve precise control of each balance wheel motor and accurate sorting of items. The application of integrated servo motors in the control system of the balance wheel sorter can realize the automation and intelligence of the sorting process.

Monitoring system

The integrated servo motor can also be used as a component of the monitoring system of the balance wheel sorter, and the integrated sensor can be used to realize real-time monitoring of the motor's operating status and fault warning. When the motor is abnormal, the fault warning can be used to promptly detect and deal with the problem, avoiding equipment damage and production interruption.

1.Improve efficiency: The high-efficiency performance of the integrated servo motor can improve the sorting efficiency of the swing wheel sorter and meet the logistics industry's demand for fast and accurate sorting.

2.Simplified structure: The small size and light weight of the integrated servo motor can simplify the structure of the swing wheel sorter, reduce the connection lines and interfaces, and improve the stability and reliability of the equipment.

3.Reduced maintenance costs: The long life and low maintenance cost of the integrated servo motor can reduce the maintenance cost of the swing wheel sorter, reducing repair time and the cost of replacing parts.

4.Improved accuracy: The precise control of the integrated servo motor can improve the sorting accuracy of the pendulum sorter, reduce errors and improve product quality.

5.Flexible expansion: The flexible scalability of the integrated servo motor allows the pendulum wheel sorter to be easily upgraded and expanded to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

 

02.Example

In practical applications, the use of integrated servo motors as the drive system can provide more efficient, accurate and flexible sorting solutions for logistics and manufacturing industries.

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.
