Development of Small Inertia Handling Robot for Packing Line

摘要

A handling robot that is applied to sorting, accumulation and palletizing of products on packing lines to fill cans into cardboard boxes should have the following required capacities. (1) Handling capacity of various weight products from less than 1kgf to 50kgf. (2) Rapid periodic movement of simple steps. In order to realize these requirements, we have minimized inertia force by means of load analysis based on a dynamic model and analysis of the robot's movements. We developed handling robot which has a maximum handling capacity of 50kgf, and achieved the fastest motion of 0.86s (reciprocation on 1 m length track).
