The application of industrial
manipulator
Manipulator is in the process of
mechanization, automation production, developed a kind of new type of device.
In recent years, cnc machining parts with
electronic technology, especially the wide application of electronic computer,
the robot's development and production has become a high technology developed
rapidly in the field of an emerging technology, it promoted the development of
the manipulator, make the manipulator can achieve better with the combination
of mechanization and automation.
Manipulator although it is not as flexible as
manpower, but it can have repeated work and labor, do not know fatigue, is not
afraid of danger, cnc machining parts snatch heavy weights strength characteristics such as larger than man, as a
result, the manipulator has been brought to the attention of the many
departments, and have been applied more and more widely.
(1)
Machine tools machining the workpiece loading and unloading, especially in
automatic lathe, use common combination machine tools.
(2) Widely used in the assembly operation,
it can be used to assemble printed circuit board in the electronics industry,
it can be in the machinery industry to assemble parts.
(3)
Can be in working conditions is poor, repetitive easy fatigue of the work
environment, to instead of human Labour.
(4) The development of the universe and the
ocean.
(5) Military engineering and biomedical
research and test.
Application of robots can replace people in dull, repetitive or
heavy manual work, to realize
mechanization and automation of production, instead of human in harmful
environment of manual operation, improve labor condition, ensure the personal
safety. In the late 1940 s, the United States in the nuclear experiments,
firstly adopts manipulator handling radioactive materials, people in the
security room to manipulate manipulator for various operation and experiment.
After the '50 s, robots gradually extended to industrial production department,
for use in high temperature, serious pollution of local leave work pieces and
the loading and unloading materials, as auxiliary device in the machine tool
automatic machine, automatic production line and processing center in the
application, complete the material up and down or from libraries take put the
knives and replace tool operations such as fixed procedure. Manipulator is
mainly composed of hand and motion mechanism. Hand mechanism varies according
to the usage situation and operation object, the common are holding, hold and
the adsorption type etc. Motion mechanism usually driven by hydraulic,
pneumatic, electric devices. Manipulator can be achieved independently of
scaling, rotation and lifting movement, generally speaking, there are 2 ~ 3
degrees of freedom. Robots are widely used in machinery manufacturing,
metallurgy, light industry and atomic energy etc.
Manipulator is used in the production process
automation with grab and move the workpiece is a kind of automatic device, it
is in the process of mechanization, automation production, developed a new type
of device. In recent years, with electronic technology, especially the wide
application of electronic computer, the robot's development and production has
become a high technology developed rapidly in the field of an emerging
technology, it promoted the development of the manipulator, make the
manipulator can achieve better with the combination of mechanization and
automation. Robots can replace humans do dangerous, repeat the boring work,
reduce human labor intensity and improve labor productivity. Manipulator have
been applied more and more widely, it can be used for parts assembled in the
machinery industry, processing the workpiece handling, loading and unloading,
especially on the automatic CNC machine, combination machine tools more common
use. At present, the manipulator has developed into a flexible manufacturing
system of FMS and flexible manufacturing cell is an important component of FMC.
The machine tool equipment and manipulator of a flexible manufacturing system
or flexible manufacturing unit, it is suitable for medium and small batch
production, can save a large workpiece delivery device,cnc machining parts structure is compact, but also has a strong
adaptability. When the workpiece changes, flexible production system is easy to
change, is advantageous to the enterprise continuously updated marketable
varieties, improve product quality, better adapt to the needs of the market
competition. But at present our country's industrial robot technology and its
engineering application level and foreign than there is a certain distance,
scale and industrialization level is low, research and development of the
manipulator has direct influence on raising the automation level of production
in our country, from the consideration on the economic and technology is very
necessary.
Therefore, carries on the research design
of the manipulator is very meaningful.
