Industrial robots, as good helpers in the industrial sector, are playing an important role in the intelligent transformation of enterprises. This is a type of mechanical product mainly used in industrial production, with different structures and forms, among which the most common is the robotic arm. This is a multi-joint serial robot with vertical and horizontal structures. Taking the following BORUNTE machine as an example:
Its mechanical structure system includes the body, arms, wrists, hands, and base. This is the foundation of industrial robots, determining their purpose, performance, and control characteristics.
(1) Body: Used for installing and supporting other components, while providing internal space to accommodate drive devices and control systems.
(2) Arm: responsible for connecting the body and wrist, and driving the wrist and hand to perform spatial movements. The arm is usually composed of the upper arm, lower arm, and wrist.
(3) Wrist: located between the arm and hand, its main function is to connect the hand and arm, and adjust the posture of the hand.
(4) Hand: The part of an industrial robot that directly interacts with the working environment, used for grasping, placing, or manipulating objects.
(5) Base: A bottom support structure used to secure the robot and provide stable support.
The tooling of industrial robots is divided into two parts. The first part is the end effector, which is the hand part of the robot. Robots without end effectors cannot complete their work independently.
1, Mechanical gripper
A mechanical gripper is a device that uses mechanical force to grasp objects, and its working principle is similar to the opening and closing movements of human fingers. This type of end effector usually includes grippers, suction cups, etc., which can complete tasks such as grasping, handling, and assembly. According to different clamping methods, mechanical grippers can be divided into types such as electric grippers, pneumatic grippers, and hydraulic grippers. In addition, according to the different trajectory of finger movement, it can be further divided into parallel gripper, rotating gripper, and multi finger dexterous hand.
Flexible servo electric gripper
Flexible servo electric gripper: an automated gripping device that integrates high precision, high flexibility, and high reliability, designed specifically for modern industrial automation production lines. By adopting closed control motor drive technology and combining it with a flexible clamping mechanism, it is possible to achieve stable and precise grasping and release of objects of different shapes, sizes, and materials. It is widely used in automated operation scenarios such as assembly, handling, sorting, and inspection.
Stacking Claw Fixture
The palletizing gripper fixture is designed in conjunction with the BORUNTE palletizing robot, which can help users quickly and conveniently palletize products of woven bag types. Its gripper is made of cast aluminum, which is sturdy, lightweight, efficient, stable, and flexible. It can quickly and accurately grasp and place goods, ensuring neat and standardized palletizing and reliable long-term operation.
2, Adsorption type end effector
Adsorption type end effectors use negative pressure or magnetic force to adsorb objects, suitable for objects with flat surfaces and certain hardness, such as glass plates, metal plates, etc. Adsorption type end effectors can be divided into two types: vacuum adsorption type and magnetic adsorption type:
Vacuum adsorption type: using a vacuum pump to generate negative pressure to adsorb objects, suitable for non-ferrous metals or fragile items, but with limited adsorption capacity for large sizes or heavy objects.
BORUNTE sponge suction cup
BORUNTE sponge suction cup can be used for loading and unloading, handling, unpacking, and palletizing products. Applicable items include various types of boards, wood, cardboard boxes, etc. Built in vacuum generator, the suction cup body has a steel ball structure inside, which can generate suction without fully adsorbing the product, and can be directly used with an external air tube.
Magnetic adsorption type: using electromagnets or permanent magnets to adsorb magnetic materials, widely used in welding, spraying and other processes, but prone to failure in high temperature environments.
3, Special tools
Specialized tools are end effectors designed for specific tasks, such as welding guns, laser cutting machines, polishing heads, electric grinders, etc. These tools typically have highly specialized features and are capable of completing specific operational tasks such as welding, spraying, polishing, and inspection. The design of specialized tools needs to be optimized according to specific job requirements to improve efficiency and accuracy.
Rotary cup atomizer
The rotary cup atomizer is a device widely used in the field of coating spraying. Its main function is to atomize the coating into small particles through high-speed rotation, thereby achieving uniform and efficient spraying effect. The core principle of this device is to utilize the centrifugal force and electrostatic field to disperse the coating into tiny droplets during high-speed rotation, and transport them to the spraying target surface through air flow.
Auxiliary tooling
Auxiliary tooling is a type of external tool that improves the efficiency of robots, aimed at helping them operate more flexibly. Without these tools, robots can still complete tasks, but with these tools, efficiency can be significantly improved.
The above is the introduction of robot construction in this issue. With these good construction tools, the efficiency of robot work can be greatly improved.
