FBG Sensing Technology for the Temperature Monitoring of Robots

Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives, and the demand for high-performance robots in various fields is growing. In robot technology, temperature monitoring is critical for maintaining robot performance and extending the life of robot components. Fiber grating sensing technology provides a feasible solution for temperature monitoring of robots, which can help improve the performance and reliability of robots. In this article, we will discuss the problems that fiber grating sensing technology can solve, and how Beijing Dacheng Yongsheng Technology Co., Ltd.(short for DCYS ) can support the temperature monitoring of Robots in the robotics.

Fiber Bragg Grating Sensing Principle:

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are periodic structures that are inscribed in the core of an optical fiber. These structures reflect a specific wavelength of light that is determined by the periodicity of the grating. When the grating is subjected to mechanical or thermal strain, the reflected wavelength changes in a predictable manner. By monitoring the reflected wavelength, changes in strain, temperature, and other parameters can be detected. FBG sensors can be used to monitor a wide range of parameters, including strain, stress, temperature, and vibration.

Requirements Analysis for Temperature Monitoring of Robots in Robotics:

Temperature monitoring of robots is an essential component of robot maintenance, as the performance of the robot can be significantly affected by temperature changes. Temperature monitoring can also help prevent damage to robot components due to high temperatures.

Why Temperature Monitoring of Robots is Needed:

Robots are used in a wide range of environments, and different environments can cause temperature changes, such as outdoor temperature changes, friction between robot components, and energy consumption during operation. Monitoring the temperature of robot components can help maintain the normal operation of the robot, reduce energy consumption, and extend the life of the robot.

Difficulties in Temperature Monitoring of Robots:

The high temperature sensitivity and high spatial resolution required for temperature monitoring of robots are two significant challenges that need to be addressed. The traditional temperature measurement method based on thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) has limitations, such as slow response time, low sensitivity, and the need for direct contact with the measured object. In contrast, FBG sensing technology has the advantages of high sensitivity, high spatial resolution, and the ability to measure temperature without direct contact with the measured object.
