A brief discussion on the control methods characteristics of six-axis robots

The so-called axes of industrial robots can be explained by the professional term "degree of freedom". When the number of axes of a robot increases, it means higher flexibility for the robot. The most widely used robot on the market is the six-axis robot . It is a machine that relies on its own power control capabilities to complete various functions automatically perform work. It can run according to pre-programmed programs. The editor will introduce the characteristics control methods of the six-axis robot.

Control method of six-axis robot

The actual control of the six-axis robot is completed by a microcomputer, while the other is decentralized control, using multiple microcomputers to share the control of the robot. If the upper lower microcomputers are selected to jointly complete the control of the robot, the host is often used to manage the system, communicate, calculate kinematics dynamics, send command information to the lower microcomputer; as a lower slave, each joint corresponds to a CPU, performs interpolation calculations servo control processing, completes the given movement, feeds back information to the host. According to different task requirements, the robot control method can be divided into point control, continuous trajectory control force (torque) control.

Features of six-axis robots

1. Versatility: Generally, 6-axis industrial robots have good versatility when performing different tasks. Of course, there are also special industrial robots.

2. Programmable: The biggest feature of the 6-axis industrial robot is flexible startup, which is an important part of the flexible manufacturing system. The software system of the industrial robot can be reprogrammed as its working environment changes the workpiece changes, which can be applied to the use of small batches multiple types of flexible production lines with balanced high efficiency.

3. Anthropomorphism: The 6-axis industrial robot combines the characteristics of robots humans. The structure of the 6-axis industrial robot has human-like walking, waist rotation, upper arms, lower arms, wrists, claws other parts, a computer is used for control. Its sensors improve the industrial robot's ability to adapt to the surrounding environment.
