Proactive Actuator Health: Detecting & Diagnosing Faults
When Your Robot Arm Says "Nope": Mastering Technology Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Actuators Actuators – the tireless muscles of our robotic world – are responsible for bringing machines to life. From manipulating delicate lab equipment to powering industrial robots, these vital components ensure smooth, precise movements. But just like any complex system, actuators are susceptible to faults, leading to malfunctions that can halt operations and cause significant downtime. Thankfully, we're not helpless in the face of actuator failures. Advanced technology is paving the way for fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) systems that act as proactive safeguards, identifying potential issues before they snowball into major problems. Unveiling the Fault: How Does FDD Work? Actuator FDD systems rely on a combination...
