Optimization of the Mechanical Structure of Industrial Robots Used in Welding Operations, Using the Finite Element Method
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2011, Vol 12, Issue 33
Abstract
This paper is about choosing the optimum variant, from the constructive-geometrical and material points of view, for a structure element within the construction of an industrial robot. We have used finite elements analysis (FEA) for optimizing the robot’s forearm as regards the stress it is subject to, without influencing the technical-functional parameters. The articulated arm-type industrial robot studied below is dedicated to welding applications, being integrated in a robotized flexible cell for electric arc welding, choosing the optimum variant of the robot’s forearm.
