  1. Servo Systems Servo is mechanism based on feedback control. The controlled quantity is mechanical. HUT/Automation

  2. Closed Loop Control Your Partner In Productivity • Controller is the “Brain” • Drive is the “Muscle” • Feedback Transducer is the “Eyes” Motion Command Input Mechanical Motion Output Drive or Amplifier Controller Feedback Transducer

  3. Servo systems are “Closed Loop” in design Your Partner In Productivity control feedback • Uses feedback for automatic correction • High performance control Width of material must be very precisely controlled

  4. Example - Closed Loop Control System Speed Feedback Movement Load Reducer Encoder Table Motor Power Ballscrew AC/DC Servo Amp IMC S Class Position Loop Velocity Loop 0 to ±10V DC

  5. Servo Control of an Electrical Motor Three feedback lops servocontroller HUT/Automation

  6. Properties of Servo Systems • high maximum torque/force allows high (de)acceleration • high zerospeed torque/force • high bandwidthprovides accurate and fast control • robustness Servo Systems are not servos HUT/Automation

  7. How to design good Servo Systems? • Terminology: • Do not confuse “servos” with “servo motors” • DC motors (brushed or brushless) are also sometimes also referred to as “servo motors” • See: http://www.theproductfinder.com/motors/bruser.htm • “So when does a motor become a servo motor? • There are certain design criteria that are desired when building a servo motor, which enable the motor to more adequately handle the demands placed on a closed loop system. • First of all, servo systems need to rapidly respond to changes in speed and position, which require high acceleration and deceleration rates. • This calls for extremely high intermittent torque.

  8. Intermittent Torque in Servos • Torque is related to current in the brushed servo motor. • So the designers need to keep in mind the ability of the motor to handle short bursts of very high current, which can be many times greater than the continuous current requirements. • Another key characteristic of the brushed servo motor is a high ratio of torque to inertia. • This ratio is an important factor in determining motor responsiveness. • Further, servo motors need to respond to small changes in the control signal. • So the design requires reaction to small voltage variations.

  9. Hobby radio-controlled servos Servos

  10. Small Servos (servo-motors) for small robots Positioning applications:

  11. Three-wire interface of standard servos

  12. PWM control of Servos

  13. Pulse length controls the angle of the shaft rotation Pulse between 0.6 ms and 2.0 ms

  14. Speed Control PWM is not the same as the Servo PWM Single pulse width counterclockwise center clockwise

  15. What to remember when you write software to control? Writing software, take into account mechanical constraints

  16. “Winch servo” and how to convert from standard servo

  17. Pneumatic & Hydraulic Actuators • Large manipulators in industry frequently employ hydraulic drives, • since such drives provide a higher torque-to-weight ratio than electric motors • However, because of the maintenance problems associated with pressurized oil (including leaks), hydraulic motors are not used in smaller mobile robots • Pneumatic drives have been used as actuators in the past but are not currently popular • Air is compressible, resulting in nonlinear behavior of the actuator
