Enabling the miniaturization of industrial robots
AKM's ΣΔ digital output coreless current sensor provides an innovative solution for the miniaturization of industrial robots. Details of the technology and its specific effects will be presented with actual examples.
What are the challenges of miniaturization of industrial robots?
In recent years, the number of industrial robots in factories has been increasing year by year. This has led to a growing demand for miniaturization of systems for factory automation and robot manufacturers are working on the development of smaller models.
Additionally, there are numerous challenges to downsizing robots. Examples include reduction of the number of components, countermeasures against heat generation, and layout restrictions.
Using a ΣΔ Digital Output Current Sensor to Reduce Size by 20%
The ΣΔ digital output coreless current sensor IC developed by AKM provides an ideal solution to these problems. The sensor offers numerous advantages over conventional methods that use shunt resistors.
By replacing the commonly used shunt resistor method with AKM's innovative solution, the size can be reduced by approximately 20%. The following white paper introduces the details of our study conducted by using the current sensing part of the control box of an AC servo system as an example.
