Applying Arduino Libraries on Matlab to Design Servo Motor Controller in Sewing Machine

Abstract

Currently, servo motors are extensively employed in manufacturing equipment, including the garment industry, owing to their high precision and ease of speed variation. Control problems in electronic sewing machines are primarily characterized by motor speed regulation to generate needle motion. The operating principle of the servo motor involves transmitting motion to the main shaft via a belt drive. Consequently, motor speed control can be formulated as a problem of simulating the main shaft motion, which directly affects the machine’s actuators, such as forward/reverse stitching, needle stopping, and precise positioning. This paper presents the Arduino library within the MATLAB environment and its application in the design of a controller for a servo motor.
