What are the more important aspects of carbon fibre robotic arm fabrication?

The start of China's robotics industry lags far behind developed countries such as the United States Japan, but the domestic demand for its application is very large. In the past six years, China has been ranked first in the world's robot application market. With the continuous improvement of industrial technology, industrial robots will become a new growth point in the manufacturing industry in the next decade.

The production process of carbon fiber robotic arms is relatively complicated, involving a series of processes including raw material selection, design, cloth cutting, laying, molding, finishing, painting, packaging. Almost every link willhave an impact on the performance of the robotic arm .

The following is a brief explanation of two three of these links as examples.

1. Selection of carbon fiber prepreg:

The quality of carbon fiber prepreg directly affects the comprehensive performance of the finished carbon fiber robot arm. The quality of carbon fiber prepreg is determined by many factors. In addition to the performance differences of the carbon fiber precursor used, the wettability between the resin matrix the carbon fiber the bonding strength between the two after curing will affect the interlaminar shear strength other performance of the carbon fiber robot arm . Therefore, when making a carbon fiber robot arm, in addition to considering the model of carbon fiber precursor, it is also necessary to a prepreg variety with good carbon fiber wettability high interface bonding strength between the resin matrix the carbon fiber.

2. Carbon fiber composite material layup design:

In order to make the carbon fiber robot arm have higher mechanical properties stability, it is necessary to make the carbon fiber prepreg form a specific structural distribution as much as possible during the laying process. Computer optimization design reasonable cutting are conducive to ensuring the mechanical properties stability of the robot arm under the premise of lightweight. In other words, by making full use of the structural designability of carbon fiber composite materials, according to the use requirements force analysis, the specific shape of the carbon fiber robot arm structure can be achieved by optimizing the laying of each layer of prepreg.

3. Forming method of carbon fiber robotic arm:

Due to different shapes uses, carbon fiber composite parts have different molding methods to choose . In the production of carbon fiber robotic arms, Shenzhen Huiwen Intelligent Co., Ltd. recommends using the one-piece molding method as much as possible based on experience. The carbon fiber robotic arm produced by this process has a more compact structure better safety stability. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to different production plans for different parts. Because the stress conditions of different parts are different the complexity of the structural shape is different, the production plan should try to take into account both controlling production costs meeting application requirements.

Of course, in addition to the above three aspects, other links will also have a certain impact on the performance of the robot arm. Although the overall utilization rate of carbon fiber composite materials in robot arms is high so far, it has been able to replace stainless steel, aluminum alloy other metal materials to a large extent, its advantages such as small thermal expansion coefficient, extremely light weight, corrosion resistance long service life have attracted widespread attention in the industry. With the expansion of market demand, the application technology of carbon fiber composite materials in robot arms will be continuously deepened improved.
