We have now entered the era of Industry 4.0, where artificial intelligence technologies are propelling the manufacturing sector towards intelligent and flexible transformation. As a core component of smart manufacturing, the control precision of robotic servo systems directly impacts production efficiency and product quality. Current sensors, serving as the ‘sensory nerves’ of servo systems, are pivotal for AI algorithms to achieve precise control. Traditional open-loop current sensors suffer from issues such as insufficient accuracy, significant temperature drift, and slow dynamic response, rendering them inadequate for meeting modern industry's demands for efficiency, safety, and intelligence. In this context, CHIPSENSE CR1V closed-loop Hall-effect current sensor emerges as an ideal choice for industrial automation upgrades, owing to its high precision, rapid response, and superior insulation properties.
