What is a rigid arm assisted manipulator? This is probably what many people want to know. We know that the human arm consists mainly of the hand, wrist and arm, and so does the hard-arm assisted robotic arm. Although the hard-arm assisted manipulator is an industrial product, its main working principle is to imitate the human arm.
The flexibility of an assisted manipulator is mainly determined by the degrees of freedom. Assist manipulators do not have as many degrees of freedom as people. Only 6 degrees of freedom are required to perform operations in any direction in space.
The rigid arm power manipulator can be freely tailored to the weight of the lifted workpiece, the range of operation and the nature of the work. The manipulator should be selected for the right range and model to prevent large material from being used in a small way. In general, booster arm manipulators are equipped with a gas storage tank to ensure that another cycle can be used in the event of a gas failure during work. An alarm is also issued to remind the operator to activate the self-locking function when the air pressure drops to a certain level to prevent the workpiece from falling off. There is a safety system so that the worker cannot release the workpiece at will during work or when the workpiece is not placed on a safe surface. The rigid arm power manipulator can be used with a variety of non-standard fixtures to lift and lower workpieces of different shapes. The mounting can be fixed by suspension, fixed on the ground or moving on rails.
The rigid arm manipulator mainly uses the working principle of force balance. To achieve a continuous and stable balance, the assisted manipulator needs to balance the weight of the weight and the pressure in the cylinder by means of suction cups and the end fixture of the manipulator.
When the rigid arm power manipulator reaches a certain balance, it has suspension. The operator is then very assisted when moving the operation. The outstanding advantage of the levitation effect is that the operator can achieve flexible docking when assembling, which can avoid damage to the workpiece caused by collisions between workpieces during installation. At the same time, the operator can operate with ease, effectively avoiding bodily injury. Therefore, when the workpiece needs to be turned or tilted and the centre of gravity is far away from the arm suspension point, a rigid arm-assisted manipulator is the appropriate choice, when the workshop height is limited.
