The use of angle sensors on robots

The use of manipulators or robots in production is increasing day by day. For precise control and positioning of operating devices (claws, tools, etc.), the robot is equipped with position sensors on the joints of the moving parts. The sensors obtain the mutual positions of the moving parts and notify the control computer after the moving parts are mechanically connected.

Such mechanical arms or robots often work in harsh environments. Long-term work puts high demands on the life, stability and environmental adaptability of the sensor. Previously, optical encoders were used, but dust and oil pollution would affect the performance of optical devices. Light transmittance and vibration will affect the precision of the optical device, and then affect the use of the sensor. Now okplazas.com adopts the magnetic sensitive angle sensor produced by the principle of magnetic sensitive response. It has the characteristics of dustproof, waterproof, seismic and impact resistance, and has multiple output methods such as analog signal and digital signal, which can measure the rotation angle of the robot arm well. Due to the non-contact principle of magnetic sensitivity, there is no friction during the rotation of the angle sensor, which greatly improves the service life and long-term working stability.
