In the wave of modern automation and intelligent manufacturing, AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), as an important logistics transportation tool, is increasingly being widely used in various warehousing and production environments. But in one of the key components of AGV - the wheel hub motor, the role of the encoder is particularly important.

The working principle of an encoder is to use photoelectric or magnetic effects to convert rotational motion into electronic signals. In wheel hub motors, magnetic encoders are generally used as encoders, mainly by combining magnets and sensors to detect changes in the magnetic field. When the motor rotates, the change in magnetic field is detected by sensors and converted into electronic signals. After processing, these electronic signals can obtain the speed and position information of the motor.

In AGV systems, the encoder of the wheel hub motor plays a crucial role. It can provide feedback on the status of the wheel hub motor, such as speed, position, etc., to achieve closed-loop control. Encoders are usually installed on wheel hub motors, integrated with the motor, and can quickly and accurately detect the operating status of the motor. Based on the position and speed information feedback from the encoder, the AGV system can grasp the real-time operation status of the motor and perform real-time control based on this information to achieve precise positioning and motion control. For example, when planning the path of an AGV car, the travel route should be adjusted based on the real-time position information of the motor to ensure that the car can reach its destination in a timely manner.

In addition, the encoder can also provide absolute position information of the motor, which is crucial for the positioning and calibration of AGV systems. In AGV systems, the Z signal is generally used to represent the absolute position of the encoder. The Z signal is a special pulse that is generated only once when the encoder rotates once. By detecting the rising or falling edge of the Z signal, the absolute position of the encoder shaft can be determined, and position calibration and zero marking can be performed.

AGV systems have been widely used in industrial production, logistics transportation, healthcare and other fields. In these applications, the encoder of the wheel hub motor plays a key role, providing accurate position and speed information for the AGV system, enabling the AGV system to achieve high-precision positioning and motion control, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Shenzhen Zhongling Technology Co., Ltd. is a research and development enterprise with a long history in the fields of servo control and wheel hub motors. Its wheel hub servo motors have been steadily shipped for a long time and have been recognized by the robot market. They have also been widely used in the AGV field for a long time. In today's increasingly intelligent life, the field of servo control will become more common and closely related to people's lives. Only through continuous innovation and research and development can we stand under the tide of the times.
