Robotics Development tells you why carbon fibre is an indispensable material for robotic arms.

The robotic arm is an important production processing component in industrial production. In industrial production, the most common robots we can see are industrial robots . The robotic arm is one of the important structures for the work of industrial robots. With the development of carbon fiber material research, it has gradually become a replacement for other material processing robotic arms. So what are the advantages of carbon fiber robotic arms ?

     Traditional robotic arms are mostly made of metal materials, such as aluminum alloy steel. In addition, some automatic detection devices, pipelines, cooling devices, etc. will also be installed on the robotic arm. Since the robotic arm is a typical cantilever beam structure, its own mass will have a great impact on the robotic arm itself. Therefore, if you want to reduce the mass of the robotic arm while meeting the static dynamic performance, you can choose a suitable structure choose a light-density material to achieve lightweight robotic arms. With the development of science technology, carbon fiber materials are becoming more more popular in civilian use, can be seen in industry, drones, medical care, sports other fields. Carbon fiber robotic arms are light in weight high in strength, this feature is very popular in aerospace military industries.

     Industrial robotic arms made of metal only make people feel clumsy, but also have poor fatigue resistance. Due to technical problems in production, many times the products produced will have certain errors. Then the production processing of carbon fiber materials can be better demonstrated, the carbon fiber robotic arm is more flexible more convenient to process, the temperature rise during use will affect the carbon fiber robotic arm. The robotic arm only has to bear its own weight, but also needs to bear the maximum weight of the grasped workpiece, which requires that the robotic arm cannot be strained broken when bearing loads. In terms of tensile strength, the tensile strength of carbon fiber composite materials is, the tensile strength of aluminum alloy is about 800MPa; in terms of toughness, the toughness of aluminum alloy is relatively low lacks elasticity. Carbon fiber has the softness processability of textile fibers, so its toughness is much higher than that of aluminum alloy, carbon fiber material is less likely to break.

     In the domestic industrial robot manufacturing, the application trend of carbon fiber in robotic arms is becoming more more obvious. In addition to some large carbon fiber robotic arms in the aviation field , carbon fiber materials are also beginning to appear on some small medium-sized robotic arms in life. Jiangsu Boshi Carbon Fiber Technology Co., Ltd. has customized carbon fiber robotic arms for many companies research institutes, which have been applied in production lines in the fields of electronics, mechanical manufacturing, etc., have received good responses established long-term cooperation plans.
