The coiler for plastic film, steel strip, cloth, and paper is controlled by constant tension. In situations such as tightening nuts and automatic drilling of automatic assembly machines, the motion controller should adopt synchronous control of torque and position.
Composition architecture of motion control system
A motion controller is used to generate trajectory points (expected output) and a closed position feedback loop. Many controllers can also close a speed loop internally.
A driver or amplifier is used to convert control signals (usually speed or torque signals) from a motion controller into higher power current or voltage signals. More advanced intelligent drives can close their own position and speed loops to achieve more precise control.
An actuator such as a hydraulic pump, cylinder, linear actuator, or motor is used to output motion.
A feedback sensor such as a photoelectric encoder, rotary transformer, or Hall effect device is used to provide feedback on the position of the actuator to the position controller, in order to achieve closure of the position control loop.
Numerous mechanical components are used to convert the motion form of the actuator into the desired motion form, including gearboxes, shafts, ball screws, toothed belts, couplings, and linear and rotary bearings.
