Types of servo axes sinchronization for use in automative recycling industry

Abstract

To optimize the recycling process in automotive industry, it is necessary to constantly innovates machines where recycling processes take place. In recycling processes, we have selection and cutting of various materials such as: metal, glass, plastic, wood, leather, etc. Various electric drives are used for all these processes. In the past the drives were only mechanically coupled. Mechanical couplings such as gears, couplings, sprockets and other mechanical power transmissions are reliable solutions but not flexible. Changing the gear ratio between the two axes of motion would require a change in the ratio of the mechanical gears or the use of a gearbox. With the development of electronics, the gearing of the axis was moved from domain of mechanics into the domain of electronics.
