Development of the Mechatronic Electric Drive of the Circular Transfer Table

Abstract

The article discusses the design of a circular transfer table in the form of a mechatronic module with a gearless connection of an electric motor and a face-plate. Realization is possible on the basis of circular built-in synchronous electric motors with permanent magnets in the rotor. This eliminates the disadvantages of traditional designs, such as backlash, failure when fixing the face-plate, low rotation frequency of the faceplate, and achieves high characteristics of static and dynamic accuracy of reproducing the task signal. Seeing with the new design, the automatic control system (ACS) of the electric drive has also changed. To eliminate thermal deformations during positioning, an additional cooling system for the executive electric motor was introduced. The interrelation of the position-tracking system and the cooling system of the electric motor is considered.
