What is servo robot and what fields are servo robots mainly used in?


1、 What is a servo robot

The word servo comes from the Latin “Servus”, which means that the servant acts according to the master’s instructions and works faithfully and quickly.

As a technical term, servo is generally defined as follows:

A device used to provide control of a desired operation through the use of feedback.

 

From the above description, we can see that servo is a control device, which requires command input and power output.

 

As the operation action needs to be controlled, the output should be mechanical power. Therefore, servo is essentially a power transmission technology for motion control. According to the different types of power used, we can basically divide the servo into pneumatic servo, hydraulic servo, DC servo and frequency conversion servo.

However, due to the mature development of variable frequency drive technology in recent years and its excellent application experience in many aspects, such as small size, flexible use, easy integration, convenient maintenance, etc., variable frequency servo has replaced other types of servo technology in a large number of applications and gradually become the absolute main force in the industrial operation control field. This is why when we talk about servo basically refer to variable-frequency servo.

 

The input of the servo robot is a series of dynamic control commands corresponding to the running action demand, such as speed, position or torque, etc. The reason why these commands are dynamic is that in practical applications, the target object often needs to constantly change its position, speed, torque, etc. according to the process requirements during operation.

2. Application fields of servo robot


1.  The large-scale production of the factory is the main place where servo robots can be used. Modern factories are developing in the direction of large-scale continuous production. From the previous actual operation on the site to centralized control, far from the production site, robots can not only accurately operate finished products, semi-finished products and raw materials in the production process, but also detect the surrounding production environment, It enables people to know the environment and equipment status during production at any time, thus greatly reducing the occurrence of faults, enabling production to be carried out continuously, greatly improving the efficiency of the enterprise and reducing costs.

 

2. The servo robot can carry out quite dangerous operations, such as ultra high altitude operations, deep-sea operations, operations in dangerous places, and operations in toxic, harmful and explosive places. These places will pose a great threat to human health and safety, and it is not suitable for manual operation. Therefore, the servo robot shows great advantages. For ultra high altitude and deep-sea operations, the robot only needs to use appropriate materials to protect the dangerous environment, We can easily, accurately and quickly complete the tasks we need to complete. Other toxic and harmful areas are also applicable.
