Robot “muscle” – servo system

The servo system is the “muscle” of the robot, an automatic control system that can precisely follow or reproduce a process. The server system consists of a driver, a drive motor, a servo encoder and supporting software. Servo drive control servo motor, its role is to convert the control signal into the motor movement of the drive signal, generally through the position, speed and torque three ways to control the service motor, to achieve high-precision transmission system positioning. The servo motor is an engine that controls the operation of mechanical components. After receiving the drive signal of the servo driver, the electric energy is converted into mechanical energy, that is, the voltage signal is converted into torque and speed to drive the control object. The servo encoder is generally installed at the end of the servo motor to measure the Angle and speed, and is the signal feedback device of the server system, which has a joint effect on the accuracy of the servo system.

ABB servo drive and servo motor products have superior performance, covering a wide range of voltage and power. ABB’s servo drivers meet most voltage range applications with high positioning accuracy. The MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 highly integrate Ethernet flexible connectivity and motor feedback technology and are optimized for demanding motion applications. ABB motors also have a complete product range, power coverage to meet most applications, high speed and high torque to achieve high dynamic response and accurate control.

ABB offers dedicated selection and commissioning tools for its servo products. Servosize is a selection tool for ABB servo products, including MotiFlexe180, MicroFlexe190 and E530 servo drives, as well as eSM, DSM and HDS servo motors. MintWorkbench, ServoComposer, and AutomationBuilder are programming and debugging tools for ABB products. MintWorkbench can be used for programming and debugging of MotiFlexe180 and MicroFlexe190 servo drivers, ServoComposer can be used for debugging of E530 servo drivers, AutomationBuilder can be used to program and debug motion control PLC.
