Using Digital Servo Control to Optimize Automation

July 5, 2022
This demonstration at the Hannover Fair combines mechanics, electronics, and digitalization to create an intelligent solution for advanced automation systems.

To address the demand for more intelligent and flexible machines, Lenze used smart servo technology at the Hannover Fair as a strong motion control element in their automation system. It combines several approaches, mechanics, electronics, and digitalization to create an intelligent solution. Using dynamic control to increase the cycle rate of the machine by up to 20%, faults and deviations are corrected much faster than with standard solutions on the market.

As a result, the target value is restored in less time, and the deviation from normal operation of the servo axis is only minimal. That is because the inverter's optimized kinematics take into account both the drive axis itself and the control path behind it. Benefits include a high precision in positioning, and higher operational speeds. This advantage adds up to a 20% higher cycle rate viewed over the entire machine.
