Basics and advantages of compact inline servo gear motors for pick-and-place
Compact inline servo gear motors for pick-and-place-applications provide essential advantages. By using innovative drive technology, production processes can be optimized and costs reduced. This article explains the basics and potentials of this technology for specific requirements.
What makes inline servo gear motors ideal for pick-and-place tasks?
Such space-saving servo gear motors for handling tasks enable the placement of components with high speed and precision in tight spaces. Their design integrates motor and gearbox directly, which saves space and increases dynamics. For example, the PARO Blitz System, based on such drives, achieves up to 60 cycles per minute. The direct integration leads to a higher power density and is often a key element for more efficient machine concepts. Brushless servo gear motors are a common choice in this regard.
Why is the combination of motor and gearbox so crucial for performance?
In an inline servo gear motor, the motor and gearbox are designed and optimized as a unit, minimizing interface problems and maximizing overall performance. ATEK Drive Solutions utilizes a modular system that allows for numerous configurations. The optimal coordination reduces losses and improves the response behavior, which is particularly important in fast pick-and-place cycles. Further information can be found at servo-ready gear motor systems.Direct drives as efficiency boosters: More than just an alternative
How do direct drives outperform traditional systems in practice?
Direct drives, such as LinMot linear motors, allow for a reduction in maintenance intervals while increasing precision. They operate contact-free and achieve a repeat accuracy of +/-0.05 mm. A demonstrator of the PARO Blitz System completed 190 million cycles without maintenance. The elimination of mechanical transmission elements such as belts or screws significantly reduces wear and increases system efficiency. Information on play-free gearbox compensation provides further insights into highest accuracy.
- Increased efficiency and precision through the use of direct drives.
- Reduced maintenance effort and a longer lifespan of the systems.
- Minimized wear thanks to contact-free technology and the elimination of mechanical transmission elements.
- Integration of advanced measurement systems for comprehensive data collection during each cycle.
- Utilization of the collected data for functions such as automatic temperature compensation and predictive maintenance.
- Crucial role of connectivity (e.g., via Profinet interfaces) and data integration for modern Industry 4.0 applications.
- Creating a solid foundation for optimized production processes and a significant reduction in downtimes.
What role do data integration and Industry 4.0 play in modern pick-and-place solutions?
Modern servo drives, including advanced integrated servo gear units for assembly machines, integrate measuring systems that provide stroke and force data for each cycle. This data enables automatic temperature compensation and predictive maintenance. For example, systems like the PARO Blitz LinMot servo controller with Profinet interfaces use it. Connectivity and data acquisition are fundamental for optimizing production processes and reducing downtimes. Precise gear motors with encoders form the basis for this.Mastering specific requirements: Hygienic design and demanding environments
