Integrated CAD/CAE/CAM System for Scorbot-ER Vu Plus Industrial Robot Manipulator

摘要

Robots are required to operate in different environmental conditions facing varieties of end-effector to perform the workspace interactions. This paper deals with integrated CAD/CAE/CAM system for SCORBOT-ER Vu plus Industrial robot manipulator. The D-H (Denavit-Hartenberg) coordinate transformation method was used to perform the robot position analysis. The robot manipulator parametric solid models were constructed using Pro/ENGINEER (Pro/E). Pro/Mechanica was used to simulate the dynamic simulation and working space, CATIA was used to implement the cutting simulation, and the prototype was manufactured using a CNC milling machine. Finally, a CAD/CAE/CAM integrated system for a robot manipulator was developed. This integrated system not only promotes automation capabilities for robot manipulator production, but also simplifies the CAD/CAE/CAM process for a robot manipulator.
