Development of two links of 6 dof industrial manipulator
Project Area of Specialization Mechatronics EngineeringProject Summary A robot is a mechanically controlled, reprogrammable, multi-use automatic system with several degrees of freedom, which may be either fixed in place or mobile. A robotic manipulator is a device used to manipulate any type of material or equipment without physical contact by the operator. There are numerous researches done on industrial
robotic arms during today and by ages because of the rapid demands of usage of these robotic arms. The robotic arm has various advantages which can be better than the human (employees) arm because it is often utilized 24 hours every day. They increase productivity, maintaining high product quality, and decrease manufacturing lead time. They use little space as compared to space taken in a manual production system. The financial robot, as by and by considered and used, is a programmed programmable exchange and dealing with machine. They will be modified to complete an extraordinary number of shifted developments and operate with the speed and productivity of programmed specific reason machines. Nowadays, robotic manipulators are extensively used in various industries. They are used in manufacturing, assembling, processing, and service industries. In Pakistan, the industry is also moving towards automation. A lot of industries are involving robotic manipulators in their plant operations. As their demand is increasing so there is a need to research and design such manipulators locally.
This project has intended to design the two links of a 6 DOF industrial manipulator. The objective is to develop the base and the first joint of the robotic manipulator to make our robot capable of lifting a load of 10kg. These manipulators resemble human arm. We divide it into three main parts which are upper arm, fore arm and wrist. Upper arm and fore arm are used for positioning to do a job and wrist is used to set for orientation for this job. So we have three degree of freedom for positioning and three for orientation. The end effector movement is not included in this wrist orientation.
Project Implementation MethodOur prime objective is to work on the two links of the 6 DOF industrial manipulator i.e. waist and shoulder. We have to design the two links as per the desired load capacity. For that we will design the cad model of the waist and shoulder links according to the mathematical calculations on stresses and torques. The software analysis will be done on Solid works and the hardware simulation will be done by the servomotor which is integrated with MACH3 software application.
Benefits of the ProjectThe applications were originally in radioactive and hazardous environments. But nowadays, robotic manipulators are extensively used in various industries. They are used in manufacturing, assembling, processing, and service industries. In Pakistan, the industry is also moving towards automation. A lot of industries are involving robotic manipulators in their plant operations. As their demand is increasing so there is a need to research and design such manipulators locally.
They have several advantages over human arms. They increase productivity, maintaining high product quality, and decrease manufacturing lead time. They use little space as compared to space taken in a manual production system and they also improve worker safetyIt has been generally utilized in various mechanical applications and numerous different regions of utilizations; clinical, transport, submerged, and diversion
