MECHATRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM OF EXECUTIVE MECHANISMS OF METALWORKING MACHINES

Abstract

The use of mechatronic systems which operate subsystems of technological equipment resulting in high level of automation and flexibility of manufacturing is demonstrated. The solved problems are to expand production opportunities in the productivity increase and quick readjustments of processing parameters as well as simplifying the kinematics of the metalworking machines rotation motion by applying mechatronic means. The structure of the control system, which can be built by using an accessible and common element base is developed. A number of subsystems can be highlighted on the grounds of the developed one which provide the operation of the electric drive, transmission and conversion mechanisms, synchronization of movements of actuators, control of auxiliary subsystems, such as control system of limit positions and braking the units that move under inertia forces after shutdown power supply.

Keywords: spindle assembly, control system, mechatronic system.
