Generally speaking, an industrial robot consists of three main parts and six subsystems. The three main parts are the mechanical part, the sensing part, and the control part; the six subsystems can be divided into the mechanical structure system, the drive system, the perception system, the robot-environment interaction system, the human-machine interaction system, and the control system.
Compared to traditional industrial equipment, industrial robots have many advantages, such as ease of use, high level of intelligence, high production efficiency and safety, ease of management and significant economic benefits, enabling them to operate in high-risk environments.
So what functions should an industrial robot control system achieve?
The robot control system is an important component of a robot, used to control the manipulator to complete specific work tasks. Its basic functions are as follows:
1. Memory function: Stores work sequence, movement path, movement mode, movement speed and information related to production process.
2. Teaching Functions: Offline programming, online teaching, and indirect teaching. Online teaching includes two types: teach pendant and guided teaching.
3. Communication with peripheral devices: Input and output interfaces, communication interface, network interface, synchronization interface.
4. Coordinate setting function: There are four coordinate systems: joint, absolute, tool, and user-defined.
5. Human-machine interface: teach pendant, operation panel, display screen.
6. Sensor interfaces: position detection, vision, touch, force, etc.
7. Position servo function: multi-axis linkage of the robot, motion control, speed and acceleration control, dynamic compensation, etc.
8. Fault diagnosis and safety protection functions: system status monitoring during operation, safety protection under fault conditions, and fault self-diagnosis.
Industrial robots are multi-jointed manipulators or multi-degree-of-freedom machines widely used in industrial fields. They possess a certain degree of automation and can perform various industrial processing and manufacturing functions using their own power and control capabilities. Industrial robots are widely used in various industrial sectors such as electronics, logistics, and chemicals.
