Recently, Action Element, an AI industrial engineering platform, announced the launch of an intelligent motion control solution for precision manufacturing. The solution integrates big data models, digital twins and artificial intelligence technologies. Through digital modeling, adaptation, debugging and other processes, the design, selection and testing efficiency of terminal equipment integration solutions are greatly improved, and through algorithm optimization, in precision manufacturing The most critical "high energy control" technology has achieved performance breakthroughs in many aspects, thus helping the development of semiconductor production, 3C product testing, new energy vehicle assembly and other industries to a new level.
As we all know, precision manufacturing is the pinnacle of technology in the manufacturing field. Its equipment needs to complete complex processes in a square inch and maintain a certain rhythm to ensure production efficiency. At the same time, due to the small size, precision and high cost of the processing object, the equipment needs to have excellent end flexibility and stability, and be able to switch to low speed and accurate force control to protect components from damage.
As the actuator of the equipment, the motion control system is particularly important. From servo drives, voice coil motors, encoders, to force control sensors, not only each component requires excellent performance, but also needs to be adapted to each other to output perfect comprehensive performance. . In the traditional forward design and development mode, the selection, adaptation, and joint debugging of various components are a long and complicated process. Engineers are limited by technology, resources, and time constraints, and have to consider cost and comprehensive performance. It is difficult to achieve a comprehensive improvement of comprehensive competitiveness through trade-offs and compromises among requirements such as time to market and time to market.
To this end, Action Element adopts the AI industrial engineering platform to reconstruct the entire development process. By modeling intelligent drives, motors, encoders and other related motion control units, and completing the selection, adaptation and testing on the platform, Accompanied by advanced motion control algorithms, it breaks through the comprehensive performance and efficiency barriers of the motion control system in one fell swoop, not only greatly improving the integration efficiency, but also raising the force control accuracy, tempo, stability and other indicators of the equipment to a new height.
After the actual test on the customer's equipment, under the condition that the open-loop force control maintains a high tempo and low cost, the single-point force control repeatability of the action element intelligent motion control solution is as high as ±0.1 grams. At the same time, the system's unique "full stroke automatic constant force control" function allows the end effector of the equipment to output the same target pressure at different positions of the full stroke, and the force control accuracy can reach ±1 within the full output force range required by the customer. Grams, so that the equipment has multiple extreme features such as high precision, high stability, and high flexibility.

In addition, benefiting from the AI industrial engineering platform, the action unit also greatly simplifies the system debugging operation, effectively solving the problems of high reliance on manual adjustment of current commands in previous operations. Among them, the "automatic recognition of external force" function enables the device to get rid of the traditional force sensor, complete one-key automatic recognition within a few minutes, and make up for the force control deviation caused by aging, wear and load changes during the use of the device. Customers only need to input the start and end points to complete the identification of external forces such as spring force, friction force, and cogging force at the same time, and open the compensation function with one key. The "target force input" function realizes what you get when you input, and the customer does not need to input the limit current to calculate the target pressure in disguise, and can directly input the target pressure to realize the force control function.
