Rigid-flexible coupling dynamics analysis of a spot-welding robot

摘要

This paper studied a dynamics simulation analysis method for a rigid-flexible coupling system of spot-welding robot. The 6R spot-welding robot multi-body dynamics model is created by FEA (finite element analysis) and MBD (multi-body dynamics) software. Based on rigid-flexible coupling analysis method, we analyze mechanics characteristic of upper arm and get the deformation of end measuring point, maximum stress position and stress curve, when spot-welding robot is moving under loads. The analysis method is intuitional and accurate, and can increase the accuracy of dynamic response analysis of parts under the dynamic loads. The simulation results are very important theoretical basis for structure design and optimization of the spot-welding robot.
