As a radio remote control or by their own program control device, UAV has more than 100 years history since the world's first unmanned aerial vehicle came into being in 1908. In response to technological progress and war needs, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have gradually become an important part of the defense equipment of all countries in the world, especially developed countries. According to CEA (Consumer Electronics Association), the annual global market for consumer UAV is expected to exceed $6.4 billion for the first time in 2015, with a profit of $130 million and sales of more than 425,000 units. All figures show year-on-year growth of more than 50%. According to CEA estimates, the total market for drones will continue to grow in the future, reaching more than $11.5 billion by 2024. By then, the civilian drone market will have grown to $1.6 billion from the current 11 percent to 14 percent. The use of UAVs has exploded.

China's UAV products have long been recognized by the world market. For example, Shenzhen DJI innovation technology co., ltd. has occupied 40% of the global UAV market, making it the global leader in UAV manufacturing. Even at this year's CES in the us, more than half of the UAVs brands on display were from China. 

While the UAV market is booming, the relevant industry chain of UAV has also ushered in the development opportunity. There is no doubt that the micro brushless dc motor is the most important part of the micro UAV. Its performance is directly related to the flight performance of the UAV. Therefore, in recent years, the brushless motor market for UAV with high reliability, high performance and long life is also booming. The sales growth of the enterprise is rapid and the development is rapid. On the other hand, since the financial crisis, China's demographic dividend is dispearing, motor output has declined. Especially south China, east China widely distributed many micro motor manufacturers, market saturation, domestic motor export and domestic sales are facing great competitive pressure, it can be called a red sea. 

There are a large number of micro motor manufacturers in South China and East China.

And the rise of UAVs has given hope to those enterprises that were originally engaged in the manufacture of ordinary motors. Some enterprises began to take this opportunity to move into the market of UAV motors, and even those enterprises that were originally engaged in the fields of intelligent terminals, security and even toys intended to take a large part in the   motor is still expanding rapidly, and UAV has become the premise of the next blue ocean of micro motor. Now, it is time for traditional Chinese micro motor manufacturers to re-examine their market positioning and layout the next step.

DC brushless motor testing solution

In the traditional micro motor industry, especially in the civil industry (such as electric tool motor, etc.), the requirements of motor design and test verification are not high, and the threshold of production technology is low. But the DC brushless motor used in UAV is different. It belongs to permanent magnet motor. It has certain requirements in the motor structure design and motor control algorithm. It also needs strict performance test and technical verification system to ensure the reliability of the product. In response to the increasing test demand of this industry, AIP has launched a comprehensive test system for DC brushless motor. The system is configured as a test master + test bench. After the stator and the whole machine are clamped, the test tooling is started to automatically butt joint. The test host automatically completes all test items according to the set process, providing users with a high-precision and high reliability motor testing system.
