A mechatronic device that mimics the functions of an anthropomorphic arm, wrist, and hand; it can move any object or tool according to time-varying spatial posture (position and attitude) requirements, thereby fulfilling the operational requirements of a certain industrial production. Examples include holding welding clamps or welding torches for spot welding or arc welding of automobile or motorcycle bodies, handling die-cast or stamped parts or components, performing laser cutting, spraying, assembling mechanical parts, etc.
The term "robotic arm" is the Chinese translation of the word "ROBOT". According to national standards, an industrial robotic arm is defined as "an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multi-purpose machine that can program more than three axes; it can be fixed or mobile and is used in industrial automation applications."
A manipulator is defined as "a machine whose mechanism is usually composed of a series of hinged or relatively sliding components. It typically has several degrees of freedom and is used to grasp or move objects (tools or workpieces)." Therefore, an industrial robotic arm can be understood as a mechatronic device that mimics the functions of a human arm, wrist, and hand; it can move any object or tool according to time-varying spatial posture (position and attitude) requirements to complete a specific industrial production task. Examples include holding welding clamps or welding torches for spot welding or arc welding of automobile or motorcycle bodies; handling die-cast or stamped parts or components; performing laser cutting; spraying; assembling mechanical parts, etc.
Do you know the advantages of industrial robotic arms?
Industrial robotic arms are a new type of mechanical equipment used in mechanized and automated production. They are automated devices with grasping and moving capabilities used in automated production processes. They are mainly used to simulate human actions to complete tasks during production. For example, they can replace human personnel in carrying heavy objects, working in high-temperature, toxic, explosive, and radioactive environments, etc. They can replace humans in performing dangerous and tedious tasks, thereby reducing the intensity of manual labor and improving labor productivity.
Robotic arms are currently used in many fields, so what are the advantages of using robotic arms?
1. Saves manpower: When the robotic arm is working, only one person needs to supervise the equipment, which reduces the use of personnel and personnel costs.
2. High safety: The robotic arm mimics human movements to perform its work, and will not cause injury or death in the event of an emergency, thus ensuring safety to a certain extent.
3. Reduce product error rate. When performing manual operations, some errors are inevitable, but robotic arms do not make such errors because they produce goods based on certain data and will automatically stop working once the required data is reached, effectively improving production efficiency.
The application of industrial robotic arms has reduced production costs and improved production efficiency.
