Exploring the design of a six-axis industrial robot

With the continuous integration of scientific technological revolution industrial revolution, informatization industrialization, the deepening of social innovation, innovation-driven development has become a development trend in China even the world,  robot design has gradually become one of the directions leading the development of intelligent innovative design manufacturing. The robot design team , led by Harbin Institute of Technology (including academic forces such as Wuhan University of Technology, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Jingdezhen Ceramics University) , conducted innovative designs based on the major strategic needs of national development social issues, independently developed a modular autonomous transforming robot, won the 2018 China Industrial Design Award.

Below, Huiwen will use a six-axis industrial robot as a design object to illustrate this design process:

1. Robot design background

The development deepening of a design must be rooted in the times society. At the beginning of its design, the modular autonomous transforming robot conducted research demonstration on the current policy, social scientific research backgrounds.

2) Application areas of robots

Before introducing robot design, let me talk about the application field of robots. The application field of robots can be said to be very wide. There are many examples in automated production lines, such as palletizing robots, packaging robots, line transfer robots; there are also many examples in welding, such as welding robots on automobile production lines , etc. Now the development of robots is very rapid, the application of robots has also been extended to various industries in civilian enterprises. The demand for robot design talents is also increasing.

3) Functional conception of six-axis robot

The six-axis robot is a multi-joint, multi-degree-of-freedom robot with many movements flexible changes. It is an industrial robot with high flexibility technology the widest application. So how to design it scratch? How to determine the working range? How to arrange the movements? How to control the posture? What are the requirements for the joints of each part? so on. . . . . . Let's move on slowly with many questions!

First, we set: the robot is a six-axis multi-degree-of-freedom robot, with a gripper holding a standard welding gun for oxygen-shielded welding; it can complete spot welding, continuous welding other welding parts with different requirements, automatic production lines with fast-changing process requirements process routes. Elongation: 1700mm; rotation 270 degrees; the base is fixed horizontally to the horizon; all motor-driven.

Well, with such basic requirements, we can start to think about the preliminary plan.

With the gradual deepening of intelligent technology changes, the development of electronics, micro-electromechanical systems micro-sensor technology, the continuous improvement of processor units sensing drive technologies, the components of robots will become smaller smaller, their functions will become more powerful, their autonomy will continue to improve. Robots will be able to have stronger movement capabilities, adapt to more complex changing environments, independently complete more difficult tasks, contributing to the realization of my country's major strategic goals.

This is the end of the introduction to the design exploration of six-axis industrial robots .
