An Improved Design of the Manipulator on Automatic Tool Changer

摘要

The tool falling and vibration faults often occur in the process of tool changing,In order to improve the stability of the tools on automatic tool changer,a new structure of the manipulator is presented.The new manipulator contains two-point locking instead of the original one-point locking,and the tools can be clamped more tightly.When the old manipulator is slotting the tool,the forces are analyzed,and the working load and parameters is determined by calculating and analyzing the output curve of manipulator.The three-dimensional model is built in ADMS,and the validity of the new designed manipulator is verified by the simulation in a limit state.The simulation result shows that the new manipulator can increase the ability of tool clamping effectively.
