Analysis of Synchronization Failures in Multi-Axis Servo Drive Equipment

Abstract: Multi-axis linked equipment frequently experiences synchronization anomalies during normal operation. Through fault diagnosis and data analysis, it is preliminarily determined that the main causes of this anomaly are fluctuations in grid voltage or instantaneous torque fluctuations during the motor’s over-frequency operation. Introduction The blow (blow molding machine), fill (filling machine), and cap (capping machine) … Read more

Discussing the Essentials of Robotic Arms

The robotic arms we often refer to are typically articulated multi-degree-of-freedom robots resembling human arms. They consist of multiple driven joints connected in series through the mechanical structure of the robot body, allowing the end of the robot to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom motion in space. By installing actuators such as suction cups, grippers, or paint nozzles … Read more

CANopen User Manual - Example of Estun ProNet Servo Drive (Part 1)

CANopen is a high-level protocol based on the CAN (Controller Area Network) serial bus system and CAL (CAN Application Layer). CANopen assumes that connected devices have hardware with a CAN transceiver and a CAN controller that comply with the ISO 11898 standard. The CANopen communication protocol CiA DS-301 includes periodic and event-driven communication, which not … Read more
