A few days ago, 100,000 servomotors made in China by ABB rolled off the assembly line in Shanghai ABB Power Transmission Co., LTD. This servo motor is developed by ABB's local team and tailored to customer needs on the HDS series platform, which will be applied to the welding process on the robot welding gun.
In order to better fit the application requirements of the external shaft of the robot, the welding torch, the ABB research and development team made a series of innovative design changes on the HDS standard product platform. The high power density core design reduces the overall volume of the motor by 40% and the weight by 50%; The high dynamic response permanent magnet brake achieves greater braking torque in a smaller volume; At the same time, special design ensures that the customer's power, signal, mounting flange and mounting hole size remain unchanged.
Wu Yuhui, head of ABB's Motor and Generator business unit in China, said: "This milestone confirms ABB's unremitting efforts in vigorously promoting local research and development and production of servo motors. As the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry accelerates today, we are proud to help Chinese enterprises move towards intelligent manufacturing with advanced motion control technology."
In 2015, ABB built and put into operation the first servo motor production line in China. In 2016, ABB's servo motor Research and development laboratory was put into operation, significantly strengthening local design and research and development capabilities; In 2017, ABB's locally developed and produced HDS series servo motors for the general motion control market and customized HDS-WAC servo motors were launched into the market. In 2018, ABB's third servo motor production line will be completed within the year to further expand its production capacity in China.
As an important part of industrial automation, servo system is the necessary way for the automation industry to achieve accurate positioning and accurate movement, and is also a key driving force to promote Industry 4.0 and realize intelligent manufacturing. In recent years, on the basis of ensuring stable and reliable product quality, ABB servo motors have continuously enriched their product series and expanded market applications. At present, ABB has launched 65mm, 100mm, 130mm and 180mm servo motors for the general market, with a maximum power of 7.6kW, and has realized installed applications in robot systems, glass manufacturing equipment, test platforms, lithium battery manufacturing equipment, photovoltaic solar equipment, electronic manufacturing equipment and other fields.
