Utilization of digitally controlled servo drives in simplification of mechanical machine structure and the controllability analysis Michal Kašpárek Technical University in Liberec Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Department of Applied Cybernetics michal.kasparek@tul.cz
Motivation • Complex mechanical structures distributing driving power • Frictional resistance • Moment of inertia • Energy loss • High engine performance required • High energy consumption
Motivation • New structureofmachines • Utilized in design ofnewstructureofthe drive ofsmall-diameterknittingmachine • Possibleapplication in other textile machinesanddifferentindustrysegments • Utilizationofseveralsmallerelectromotorsplaceddirectly in front ofcontrolmembers • Significantlylowerwattageandpowerdemandsrequired • Much more simplemechanicalconstruction • More robustpowerdistibution
Applicationrequirements • Transmissionsandgearsreplacement: • Highprecisionelectroniccam • Mutliple drive movementsynchronization • Additionalcapabilities • Independent highprecisionmotioncontrol • Complexdrivingfunctiontracking • Virtualcamusability
Testedassembly • Drive systemoffunctional model ofnewstructureofsmall-diameterknittingmachine • EmersonControlTechniquesassembly • Digitax ST servodrives • CTM4 series servomotor
Testedassembly • Digitax ST - Plus • high performance drive • optimizedfor pulse duty servoapplications • highpeaktorque (up to 56.4Nm peak) • LED keypadand SM-Application module • Drive controllooprunsat 250 µs • Multiple drivesnetworkingcapabilities
Testedassembly • ControlTechniques CTM4 series servomotor • highresolutionSinCosmulti-turnencoder • 330 V drivingvoltage • 2 A nominalcurrent • 2,5 NmTorque
Reducedenergyconsumption • Servos 25% torqueoforiginal motor • Loadwheelalsoreduced to 25% • Activecurrentmeasurement: • Peakunder 10% of maximum current limit • Hugereservefor 4x biggerrealload
Virtualcam • Presentedmeasurementsutilizevirtualcamprinciple • Complextrajectoryofrotarymotion • Modelledwithhighorderpolynomials in order to ensuresmoothprogressofhigherderivatives (speed, acceleration) • Onerevolutionprogressionsampledintovirtualcam model ofdesiredpositionand speed • Virtualcamrevolution ≈ 2π ≈ 3600 samples • Limited module memory - 0.1º resolution
