ERIKS Haydock - A Super Servo Service
Have you ever considered how your metal cutting machines create that precise motion for milling or bending those perfect lines in hard surfaces during metal fabrication processes? The answer, a specialised Servo Motor.
Firstly, let us differentiate between a traditional AC motor and a servo motor. Unlike a traditional AC motor, which does not comprise of a particular assembly, a Servo motor is made up of a magnet rotor, stator and a feedback device used for position and control. The feedback device is set up in a precise position and when the motor is took apart and put back together the feedback device will need to be put back to exactly where it was originally. – and are most commonly used in closed-loop systems.
Designed to rotate specific parts of a machine with accuracy and efficiency, a servo motor is controlled with an electric signal, which can be both analog or digital, to determine the specific amount of movement required.
For example, think of a paint line at a car manufacturing plant, where the motor only needs to move a certain distance to cover its required course, with an encoder serving as a sensor that determine speed and position feedback.
As you can appreciate, operating with such complex machinery often comes with its problems. So, when errors do arise, it’s good to know that companies such as ERIKS have the technical expertise to provide an impartial solution that will get your production back running to its most efficient.
