Precautions for robot selection Application scenario adaptation: clarify what kind of operations the robot will be used for, such as material handling, assembly, welding, etc. Different applications require different robot movement flexibility and load capacity. For example, high-load robots are required to carry heavy objects, while precision assembly requires high-repetition accuracy and multiple degrees of freedom. Load capacity consideration: Calculate the total weight of the workpiece and end effector (such as gripper) that need to be transported during operation to ensure that the robot's load capacity is greater than this value, and pay attention to the changes in its load curve at different locations to prevent overload. Degree of freedom selection: Determine the number of axes based on the complexity of the task. Just move a four-axis robot in a simple straight line. If you need to rotate flexibly in a narrow space, six-axis or seven-axis are more suitable. As the budget allows, select the number of axes appropriately to facilitate subsequent transformation and utilization. Work range assessment: Based on the actual working space, refer to the robot's action range diagram to ensure that it can reach all required positions, pay attention to the horizontal range of motion and the non-working areas close to the body and rear. Repeat accuracy requirements: High-precision operations (such as electronic component assembly) require high-repeat accuracy robots (±0.02mm or even higher), while relatively rough operations such as palletization require low repetition accuracy. Speed and beat matching: Combined with the production beat requirements, pay attention to the acceleration and deceleration time of the robot from one point to another, and the actual operating speed fluctuates between 0 and the maximum speed to ensure that the production efficiency needs are met. Protection level adaptation environment: If you work in special environments such as food, medicine, flammable and explosive, you need to choose a robot with the corresponding protection level (IP level) to ensure safe and stable operation.
