Design And Research Of NdFeB Arcs-magnet Automatic Carrying Manipulator

Automatic carrying manipulator is an important aspect of the application of robotics. With labor costs rising year by year the demand for automatic carrying manipulator is increasing more and more. Automatic carrying manipulator will have a broader development prospect. In recent years NdFeB magnetic material was widely used in scientific research and various aspects of the production by virtue of low price and high comprehensive magnetic performance. At present there was a lot of NdFeB magnetic material enterprises. However low degree of automation is the most common problem of domestic producers especially in the process of NdFeB forming need more artificial handling. The process of carrying NdFeB arcs-magnet need repeatedly to grab and put down the arcs-magnet worker must suffer from hours of repetitive work. At the same time the compacting process of NdFeB arcs-magnet will cause NdFeB dust. Working in metal dust is harmful to workers’ health. As a result improve the level of automaticity and reduce the labor costs become the current urgent need of enterprises.As a kind of automation machinery industrial manipulator is very suitable for this kind of simply and regularly repetitive operations. This paper takes NdFeB arcs-magnet as the research object and aims to solve the low degree of automation in the process of carrying arcs-magnet and the high production costs. Synthesizing the robot research and development condition in recent years a scheme of automatic carrying manipulator of NdFeB arcs-magnet is concluded on the basis of the analysis of mechanical configuration、Drive device and control system guided by the idea of the characteristic and complex of mechanical configuration, electronic, software and hardware.According to the functional requirements of carrying manipulator complete the overall design of NdFeB arcs-magnet automatic carrying manipulator and use Solidworks (3D modeling software) to complete the general assembly. Complete the division of manipulator each function module and the mechanical configuration design based on the analysis of the functions of the various modules. For the fragility of arcs-magnet clamping arcs-magnet is not appropriate. A cylinder electro magnetic chunk is designed. Use Maxwell software to analysis the magnetic field and the electromagnetic force of the chunk. Determine the structure NI and best clearance between arcs-magnet and the chunk.Automatic carrying manipulator is demanded to finish carrying work process during the working rhythm of hydraulic molding machine of the NdFeB arcs-magnet. Servo drive system of manipulator is designed to satisfy the given working load speed and the demanded response characteristics. The working cycle of automatic carrying manipulator were analyzed in the final. The specification of PLC was selected. I/O interface were assigned. The pneumatic circuit was designed and analyzed. The control system and wiring diagrams of automatic carrying manipulator were completed.
