Guidelines for the use of carbon fibre composites for robotic design

Carbon fiber composite material

More more robots are beginning to use carbon fiber composite materials. Using this high-tech composite material instead of traditional metal materials to make robot parts, such as robot joints, mechanical arms , arm connecting rods, etc., can help robots significantly reduce their own weight, reduce inertia, increase operating speed, reduce deflection. In addition, carbon fiber composite materials have low creep, using them to make key operating parts can help improve the control accuracy of the robot. Next, let's talk about how to correctly use carbon fiber composite materials to effectively improve the overall performance of robots.

The mechanical properties of carbon fiber composites can be effectively improved through reasonable design, which includesRobot design also includes the design of the finished product structure. It is emphasized that different molding processes have a direct impact on the finished carbon fiber composite material. During the manufacturing process, if the ply design of carbon fiber prepreg can be optimized, the actual effect of near zero thermal deformation can be achieved, which will significantly reduce the deformation rate of the robot arm improve its overall performance.

Carbon fiber composite materials are very strong, but they are without defects. For example, their axial tensile strength is extremely high, but they are very easy to tear in the longitudinal direction, so corresponding stress calculations must be performed to ensure their reliability safety. On the other hand, scientific calculations can help enhance the application value of carbon fiber composite materials in robots. For example, when providing customized parts services for some high-end equipment, when the parts have very high requirements in terms of structural strength, finite element analysis will be provided to customers, which will meet the special needs of customers while enhancing the market competitiveness of carbon fiber composite parts.

Although carbon fiber composite materials are good, they are expensive are suitable for any part of the robot. Different structures, different positions different functions of the robot have different requirements for materials. In the application process of carbon fiber composite materials, they should be used in coordination with other types of materials. For example, the joints of the robot need to withstand high operating workloads, large wear, large stress, correspondingly large loads. In this part, if carbon fiber composite materials can be used to replace traditional metal materials, it can only meet the application requirements, but also help achieve the goal of lightweight. In parts the load requirements are high, try to use honeycomb hollow structures to give full play to the lightweight advantages of carbon fiber composite materials. It is recommended that how to choose different materials, how to use them together, how to achieve structural optimization requires full consideration of many factors in the design of the robot, including material performance, cost, operation requirements, etc.
