At present, we live in a world of constant evolution and there are great discoveries that have allowed us to develop more and more accurate machines. Therefore, in this article a brief comparison will be made and we will discover the great advantages of electronic regulation in the cleaning arms of photovoltaic parks.
We see this throughout the industry where it has gone from purely mechanical systems as it was in the industrial revolution S. XVIII to have a great variety of electrical-electronic components in our days.

The automation of a machine consists of adding a technological device that is responsible for controlling its operation. Therefore, the final system where the device has been added, generically called automatism, is capable of reacting to the different circumstances that arise by modifying its operation (control action) depending on what it has been designed for.
Composed of sensors responsible for collecting the information used by the control unit and actuators that receive the orders of the system, transforming them into physical changes of the system through the contribution of energy.
According to the nature of the energy used for the control of the automation, we can speak of mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical and electronic automation. IN ADDITION TO EXISTING MIXED TECHNIQUES THAT ARE COMBINATIONS OF THOSE CITED. COMMENTING BELOW THOSE DISCUSSED IN THIS ARTICLE:
They are composed of They are composed of: -Wheels for the TRANSMISSION OF MOVEMENT of connecting rod-crank - Pinion - rack, etc TRANSFORM r rectilinear movement in circular, vice versa -Cams, springs and levers to obtain CONTROLLED ROUTES. Some examples of mechanical automatisms in industry are: mechanical _relojes, internal combustion engines and all the machinery that was part of the industrial revolution.
Digital systems have been the basis of this great advance, on one hand, with computers and on the other by programmable automats. The programmable automata, PLC (programmable logic control) is an electronic equipment that thanks to a series of inputs (sensors) and outputs (actuators) can control sequential processes in real time in industrial applications of different kinds. Main virtues: - Reliability and improvement of process control - Allows rapid changes in maneuvers and processes - Reduces the volume of automation - Increases the degree of safety of controlled facilities - Continuous interaction with the operator (information feedback).
AN ARM FOR CLEANING PHOTOVOLTAIC PARKS IS A DEVICE GENERALLY FORMED BY THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:
Formed by a brush and its structural support; The brush is the fundamental part since it is the one that performs the cleaning and is in contact with the panel.
It is a metal structure articulated in several of its points, which through a series of mechanical elements allows its movement, to perform these movements pistons and hydraulic motors are used.
In this case the regulation is done by raising and lowering the arm by means of a shock absorber according to the pressure exerted on the line of panels.
In this case the movement of the head is free. The regulation depends mainly on the shock absorber being properly calibrated.
The regulation is done by a series of sensors which continuously measure the distance from the head to the row of panels, this measurement is sent to the PLC, which will exercise the necessary correction actions on the pistons, moving the head or raising and lowering the arm, to keep the head parallel to the panel line at all times.
We do not intend to sell a type of product at all costs. Our mission is to offer you the best product based on the different types of problems to solve. We propose the best solution to each client’s problem, whether or not it is done with our equipment.
