Servo được ứng dụng rất nhiều trong các hệ thống tự động hóa công nghiệp như:
| - Feed-To-Length | - Following |
| - Tool Feed | - Indexing/Conveyor |
| - X/Y Point-To-Point | - Injection Molding |
| - Winding | - Contouring |
| - Metering/Dispensing | - Flying Cutoff |
1. Feed-to-length
Applications in which a continuous web, strip, or strand of material is being indexed to length, most often with pinch rolls or some sort of gripping arrangement. The index stops and some process occurs (cutting, stamping, punching, labeling, etc.).
BBQ Grill-Making Machine
Application Type: Feed-to-Length
Motion: Linear
Machine Objectives:
• Compnesate for material slippage
• Interface with customer’s operator panel
• Smooth repeatable operation
• Variable length indexes
• High reliability
2. X/Y Point-to-point
Applications that deal with parts handling mechanisms that sort, route, or divert the flow of parts.
Circuit Board Scanning
Application Type: X-Y Point-to-Point
Motion: Linear
Machine Requirements:
• 2-Axis analog joystick
• Joystick button
• Travel limits
• Encoder feedback on both axes
3. Metering/Dispensing
Applications where controlling displacement and/or velocity are required to meter or dispense a precise amount of material.
Capsule Filling Machine
Application Type: Metering/Dispensing
Motion: Linear
Machine Requirements:
• Increase throughput
• No spilling of radioactive fluid
• Automate two axes
• PC compatible system control
• Low-cost solution
• Smooth, repeatable motion
4. Indexing/Conveyor
Applications where a conveyor is being driven in a repetitive fashion to index parts into or out of an auxiliary process.
Rotary Indexer
Application Type: Indexing Conveyor
Motion: Rotary
Machine Requirements:
• Smooth motion
• PLC control
• Variable index lengths
5. Contouring
Applications where multiple axes of motion are used to create a controlled path, (e.g., linear or circular interpolation).
Engraving Machine
Application Type: Contouring
Motion: Linear
Machine Requirements:
• Positional accuracy to 0.001 inches
• Easy-to-use, open-loop control
• CNC machining capability
• Interface-to-digitizer pad
• Compatibility with CAD systems
