The heart of intelligent control, automation drive industrial upgrading

Walking to the E2 pavilion, the concept of security protection and intelligent control driving the future is deeply imprinted in every area, focusing on the innovation and application of industrial automation and control systems, revealing the full picture of the smart factory under the background of digitalization and networking for visitors. The major exhibitors bring not only a single automation product, but also a full range of industrial automation solutions, covering the monitoring, analysis, forecasting, decision-making and other aspects of the production process, which can help enterprises build a more intelligent and responsive production management system. It vividly demonstrates how to realize the gorgeous turn from traditional production mode to intelligent and lean production.

IC660ELB912G Motion control has always been the core basis of intelligent manufacturing equipment, which determines the accuracy, efficiency and differentiation level of equipment. At the exhibition site, there is an industrial control “little giant” that opens up the motion control industry chain, and at the same time has a controller, driver, motor platform motion control manufacturer Leisai Intelligence, its FM1 series high-density frameless motor benchmarking the world’s excellent frameless motor peers. It has many advantages such as high torque density, high power density, small size, light weight, large inner diameter of rotor, small heating, small torque fluctuation and so on. FM1 develops and designs for application scenarios and user pain points in industries such as collaboration and humanoid robots, provides seven standard frame sizes such as 25/38/50/60/70/85/115mm, and can also optimize and customize motor sizes and electrical parameters according to customer needs.

IC660ELB912G With the deepening of intelligence, the demand for flexible production is getting higher and higher, and at the same time for more and more small batch, multi-variety personalized processing needs, how to improve the production efficiency of the factory is a common issue faced by many manufacturing enterprises, which puts forward higher demands for the intelligence and integration of equipment. As a veteran company specializing in automation technology, Beckhoff showcased its effective solutions for this field of technology on the exhibition stand – XPlanar magnetic suspension conveying system and XTS magnetic drive flexible conveying system. It is reported that the system adopts a separate control mode, so that each actor can realize asynchronous movement, greatly improving the flexibility of the system.

IC660ELB912G The very popular ultra-micro EtherCAT motion controllers AMAX-354 & AMAX-357 are 32 axis EtherCAT motion controllers, which can be used for high-speed and high-precision motion and I/O control. The local Slice I/O expansion is connected to the remote EtherCAT I/O module, and users can choose the corresponding expansion mode according to their needs. According to the introduction, the AMAX-354 controller has a stable and low-latency control system, its ultra-miniature size maximizes space utilization, and provides a low-code rapid development software environment MotionNavi Designer, supports Advantech BASIC language programming, and reduces the development and debugging time of users. AMAX-357 controller has an open and flexible architecture, uses Advantech MotionNavi API for program development, supports high-level languages such as C/C++ and VS.Net, and provides MQTT and other communication, enabling users to further connect IT data collected by EtherCAT communication to OT cloud. Achieve the perfect integration of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things.

Sanyang Electric gathered the SANMOTION brand including servo motors and stepper motors, SanAce fan motor focusing on system cooling, and SANUPS inverter providing uninterruptible power supply devices and solar power generation three family products to fully demonstrate the operation process of the production line.

Motion control expert Ming Zhi also displayed a number of servo motors and motion control solutions at the scene, including the new generation of servo products M56S AC servo system and M54S AC servo system. It is understood that the M56S AC servo system and the M54S AC servo system have fast speed response ability and excellent positioning accuracy, which can greatly shorten the setting time, support 21-bit multi-turn absolute magnetic encoder, 26-bit multi-turn absolute photoelectric encoder (M56S AC servo system), significantly improve the positioning accuracy, and greatly enhance the low-speed stability.

Precise motion control is indispensable to the effective support of the transmission components, such as the high-performance precision coupling of Baidi, which gives full play to the performance of the servo motor to achieve high-speed and high-precision positioning. According to the field engineer, there are various types of couplings, and their respective areas of expertise are different. In addition to the XG series of couplings with high vibration damping capacity corresponding to the high response of the servo motor, there are also the reed type coupling XHW with the highest rigidity among the NBK diaphragm series couplings, the integrated slot type coupling MS with complete integration of the stepping motor, the cross type coupling XUT with low load and reaction force on the bearing. Superior price and performance of the cross slider type coupling MOR, ultra-high precision rigid type coupling XRP series. In addition, NBK’s special screws, with their “technical strength”, “wide application areas” and “technology portfolio”, are dedicated to solving various problems in vacuum, high temperature, resistance environment and other special uses.
