挑战
Motoman 是一家领先的机器人公司,面临着设计新系统 MotoSweep O 的挑战,该系统将在动臂和立管系统上安装 6 轴机器人。该系统旨在以线性、旋转或面向配置的方式从上方为多台立式和/或卧式机器提供服务。该系统的旋转臂旨在同时到达所有机器,从而释放大量的占地面积。用于仰弧焊的现有伺服绞架系统将被替换为也可以处理物料搬运的系统。新系统旨在减少吊臂的质量,增加整体有效载荷,并允许在吊臂上安装比现有最大重量 280 公斤更大的机器人。该团队还致力于解决吊杆主驱动组件中的齿隙问题,该问题会导致机器人到达其程序点时吊杆晃动,从而增加机器人的稳定时间和 MotoSweep O 的循环时间。
关于客户
Motoman, Inc. 成立于 1989 年 8 月,是美国第二大机器人公司,也是发展最快的机器人公司之一,在北美安装了超过 17,000 台机器人。它是安川电机美国公司和日本安川电机公司的子公司,安川电机公司是全球最大的工业机器人制造商之一,在全球安装数量超过 85,000 台。 Motoman 的机器人应用广泛,包括机床装载/卸载的材料处理、注塑机装载/卸载、弧焊和点焊,以及模具喷涂、点胶和修整等工艺应用。其最大的客户是顶级汽车制造公司的集成商和供应商。
解决方案
Motoman 利用 ANSYS DesignSpace 创建了质量更小的吊臂,从而增加了其作用范围和有效载荷。该软件还使他们能够减少新产品线上立管的基础结构尺寸和地板安装要求。 MotoSweep O 的设计允许将 550 公斤的机器人安装在距轴 2 米的位置,使之前的 280 公斤机器人的有效负载和质量增加了一倍。该团队还开发了一种阻尼系统,以消除间隙并增加结构的刚度。摩擦辊安装在顶板上,其在 MotoSweep 系统内的反应在 DesignSpace 中进行建模。该软件帮助他们确定顶板所需的弹簧刚度以及板实现所需偏转所需的准确厚度。与旧绞架系统相比,MotoSweep O 还具有更高的转速和更大的允许有效负载,并且其稳定时间显着缩短。
