Working principle of cylinder manipulator

Aug 30, 2021

With the development of industrial technology, it can realize repeated operation independently according to program control, and has a wide range of application.


1. Hands


The part of the hand in direct contact with the workpiece is generally rotary or translational (mostly rotary because of its simple structure). Hands are mostly two fingers (there are also many fingers); It can be divided into external grasping type and internal grasping type according to needs; Negative pressure or vacuum air suction cups (mainly used for cold absorbing, smooth surface parts or thin plate parts) and electromagnetic suction cups can also be used.


2. Arm


Arm component is an important holding component of manipulator. Its function is to support the wrist and hand (including work or fixture) and drive them to do spatial movement.


3. Traveling mechanism


Some industrial manipulators have walking mechanisms, and our are in the simulation stage.


4. Wrist


The wrist is a component connecting the hand and arm, and can be used to adjust the orientation of the grasped object, so as to expand the action range of the manipulator and make the manipulator more dexterous and adaptable. The wrist has independent degrees of freedom. There are rotary motion, up and down swing, left and right swing.
