In modern industries, precise synchronization and control of movement are essential for optimized production and high product quality.
Slave motors, also known as driven motors, provide an effective solution to meet these needs.
A slave motor is a motor whose operation is synchronized with a main system, following the commands of a master motor or the overall pace of a machine. Its speed, whether constant or variable, is dependent on the main motor's speed.
This type of motor is commonly used in applications like film or cable winding, where the slave motor's speed adjusts to the progress of the machine.
Slave motors are versatile and used in various industries, including:
➡️Cutting and shaping machines
➡️Industrial printers
➡️Conveyor and transport systems
➡️Automated assembly lines
➡️Palletizing systems
➡️Packaging machines
➡️Bottling machines
➡️Paper machines
➡️Printing presses
➡️Sorting systems
One of the characteristics of MODEC pneumatic motors is their ability to operate in stall conditions.
This means that if the torque of the mechanism being driven increases, the motor stops or adjusts its speed without any damage. In slave mode operation, the motor is supplied with a constant pressure.
here's no need to implement complex control loops with feedback. The motor's speed parameters are not important, as the speed of the coupled system will determine the rotation speed of the pneumatic motor and, therefore, the speed of the system's progress.
The use of MODEC pneumatic motors in slave mode offers several significant advantages:
Their robust design and resistance to overheating or breakage make them easy to control without complex feedback loops.
The reduced number of components in the servo system significantly increases overall reliability.
The system's simplicity and the proven design of MODEC pneumatic motors lead to lower operating and maintenance costs.
The choice of a slave motor depends primarily on the torque required to drive the controlled component. It's crucial to select a motor capable of delivering sufficient torque to ensure the proper functioning of the application.
In conclusion, the ease of integrating a modec pneumatic motor in slave mode into a machine is due to its simple design and operational reliability. It can perform various functions in this specific mode with precision across all industrial sectors.
