Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The rotary motor plays a pivotal role in various motion execution mechanisms. However, an inherent issue arises during the initial installation of the encoder grating, namely, eccentricity between the centers of the encoder grating and motor shaft. This eccentricity substantially affects the accuracy of motor angle measurements. To address this challenge, we proposed a precision encoder grating mounting system that automates the encoder grating mounting process. The proposed system mainly comprises a near-sensor detector and a push rod. With the use of a near-sensor approach, the detector captures rotating encoder grating images, and the eccentricity is computed in real-time. This approach substantially reduces the time delays in image data transmission, thereby enhancing the speed and accuracy of eccentricity calculation. The major contribution of this article is a method for real-time eccentricity calculation that leverages an edge processor within the detector and an edge-vision baseline detection algorithm. This method enables real-time determination of the eccentricity and eccentricity angle of the encoder grating. Leveraging the obtained eccentricity and eccentricity angle data, the position of the encoder grating can be automatically adjusted by the push rod. In the experimental results, the detector can obtain the eccentricity and eccentricity angle of the encoder grating within 2.8 s. The system efficiently and precisely completes a encoder grating mounting task in average 25.1 s, and the average eccentricity after encoder grating mounting is 3.8 mu m.
