Key Points of Selecting A Linear Manipulator

Linear manipulator can be used in many application fields, from goods transportation to mechanical equipment maintenance, from laser welding to laser cutting.

Before choosing a manipulator, make sure what you want your manipulator to do and choose the right one for a wide variety of manipulators.

1. Linear manipulator load

Load refers to the maximum load that the manipulator can bear when running. If you need to move the weight of the machine and parts from one place to the other, you must calculate the net weight of the machine.

2.Degrees of freedom  (number of axes)

The total number of manipulator axes determines its degree of freedom. If only some simple application fields are carried out, such as picking up and placing parts in the middle of the conveyor belt, the 4-axis manipulator is sufficient. If the manipulator must run in a narrow space and the manipulator must twist and reverse, a 6-axis or 7-axis manipulator is the most suitable choice. The total number of shafts selected generally depends on the actual application field.

3. Large range of motion

We must understand the large distance to be reached by the manipulator and its large range of activities. Jiayi will also give you a larger range selection, including a larger vertical range of motion, a larger horizontal range of motion and a larger reference range of motion. These robots with different specifications are very different, which limits some special application fields.

4. Repeated accuracy of Linear manipulator

The selection of this parameter also depends on the application field. Repetition accuracy is the accuracy / difference of the manipulator reaching the same position after completing each cycle. Generally speaking, the manipulator can achieve accuracy within 0.5mm or even higher.

5. Speed of Linear manipulator

Speed is also different for different user needs. It depends on when the run must be completed. Generally, only the larger speed is given in the specification and model table, and the speed that the manipulator can provide is between 0 and larger speed. The unit is generally degrees per second. The industrial manipulator also gives a large acceleration.

6.Net weight of Industrial Linear manipulators

The net weight of manipulator is also a key parameter for the design module. If the industrial manipulator must be installed on the customized workbench or even track, you need to know its net weight and design the corresponding support.
Whether the allowable torque meets the requirements. If not, the manipulator is likely to fail due to overload.
