The robotic arm is an important component of automated robots , replacing manual labor to complete some mechanized tasks. With the increasing labor costs, the use of industrial robots has also become more more common. Traditional robotic arms are made of metal materials. Now high-end industrial robots use carbon fiber robotic arms . Although the initial cost has increased, the overall performance service life have become better. In this article, follow the editor of Huiwen Intelligence to see the robotic arm has been improved through carbon fiber robotic arms.
Carbon fiber robotic arms have shown very strong functions in terms of quality, strength, creep, etc. Although the unit price is much more expensive than traditional robotic arms, carbon fiber robotic arms are more satisfactory in some aspects of actual use of robotic arms, which require these four aspects.
1. The need for lightweight robotic arms
The robotic arm needs to move constantly, so the weight of the robotic arm itself has a great impact. For example, if the robotic arm is heavy, it will affect the operating speed of the robotic arm, including more energy consumption. The connecting parts that connect the robotic arm to the industrial robot equipment will also carry more weight, which will bring about an impact. If the robotic arm is too heavy, the controllability of the robotic arm will be too low, it will appear very clumsy, the inertia will be relatively large.
The carbon fiber robotic arm can meet the lightweight demand very well can reduce weight by more than 50%, because the density of carbon fiber material is only 1.6g/cm3, while the density of aluminum reaches 2.7g/cm3, to mention the steel robotic arm, so the use of carbon fiber robotic arm can achieve the purpose of lightweight demand very well.
2. Robotic arm grasping strength requirements
It is mentioned above that compared with metal materials, carbon fiber robotic arms can play a role in lightening, so how about the strength performance? In the eyes of many people, metal materials are very strong, the robotic arms need to grasp products, which will have strength requirements. Will there be deformation cracking during the grasping process? There is no need to worry about it on carbon fiber robotic arms. The strength brought by carbon fiber robotic arms can completely surpass metal robotic arms.
Under normal circumstances, the strength of steel is higher than that of aluminum profiles, the strength of carbon fiber materials is much higher than that of steel. The tensile strength of carbon fiber materials can reach 3500Mpa, which is much higher than the 600MPa of steel. It can bring very good strength performance to our robotic arms, so that during use, they can carry more grab heavier products without deformation cracking.
3. Precision requirements of the robotic arm
The strength of carbon fiber was mentioned above, it was also mentioned that it is difficult to deform when grabbing heavy objects. We know that when the robot is working, a fixed route is set by the program. If the robot arm deforms greatly, it will lead to precision errors in subsequent operations. The carbon fiber robot arm has good structural stability will change much in high low temperature environments. It is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye. The thermal expansion contraction of the metal robot arm is too severe. Another thing is that the robot arm may have inertial oscillation during movement. The carbon fiber robot arm has a good shock absorption effect, which will also make the entire robot arm more precise better demonstrate high-quality mechanical functions.
4. Service life of the robotic arm
At present, the reason why carbon fiber robotic arms have completely replaced metal robotic arms is that the price of carbon fiber robotic arms is higher than that of metal robotic arms. This is why many people have chosen carbon fiber robotic arms. In the long run, the service life of carbon fiber robotic arms is longer the performance is better. the perspective of cost energy saving, the cost of carbon fiber robotic arms is lower than that of metal robotic arms. So this is also an important advantage of choosing carbon fiber robotic arms.
These four requirements can be said to be the important requirements of carbon fiber robotic arms. If a carbon fiber robotic arm is selected, the entire robotic arm will have the advantages of lightweight high modulus, the overall mechanical function will be better. In addition, the carbon fiber material has very good design properties, which can make the size of the robotic arm more stable does require secondary welding, making it the preferred choice for the robotic arm.Shenzhen Huiwen Intelligent Co., Ltd. is a company that has been engaged in the production processing of carbon fiber products for many years.
