As a sub category of industrial robots, truss robots have been widely used in the manufacturing industry in recent years. It does not require manual assistance and can independently complete the work of multiple assembly lines. More and more factories choose to replace manual labor with truss robots, which is worry free, labor-saving, and cost-effective.
The truss robot is also known as a Cartesian coordinate robot and a gantry robot. Compared to other types of industrial robots, truss robots have the following advantages:
1. High flexibility and wide range of applications
The truss manipulator is a versatile operating machine that can achieve automatic control, repeatable programming, multifunctionality, and free movement in current industrial applications. It can not only transport objects but also operate tools to complete various tasks assigned. The focus of truss manipulators on the market is on developing functions in casting and heat treatment to reduce labor intensity.
2. Save costs and improve efficiency
Due to the rising cost of raw materials and annual salary adjustments for personnel, as well as the gradual decrease in the unit price of products produced by factories in the market, saving expenses and improving efficiency are currently the top priorities for factories. The truss manipulator has many advantages, such as automatic loading and unloading replacing manual operation, which greatly improves production efficiency and saves labor costs.
3. Assist in the intelligent upgrading and transformation of factories
The truss robot can achieve automated production lines, from loading, clamping to unloading, all of which are completed by robots, reducing intermediate links and greatly improving the quality of parts, especially the more beautiful surface of the produced workpieces. At the same time, robotic arms can mimic the motion functions of human arms to move objects according to fixed programs, improving labor productivity and workshop automation level. Moreover, the after-sales service of the truss manipulator is guaranteed, and in case of any malfunction, it can be promptly repaired on-site, which is very convenient.
In addition, there are three precautions for choosing a truss robot:
1、 Choose a stable structural framework
A stable structural framework is a crucial component of high-quality truss robots. The structural framework of the truss robot is mainly composed of various structural components such as columns. Its main function is to raise the axes of each part to a certain height, making it convenient for them to perform various operational tasks. Generally speaking, the structural framework is composed of aluminum profiles.
2、 Select shaft components with good performance
Relatively speaking, the axis component is a crucial component of the truss robot. There are a total of three sets of axis components, which are established according to the rules of the Cartesian coordinate system. The installed sensors determine the response speed of the shaft components, and high-performance shaft components will determine that the truss robot can have very high work efficiency and quality.
3、 Select excellent control cabinet equipment
The control cabinet is another critical component of the truss robot, as in layman's terms, the control cabinet is the brain of the truss robot. The control cabinet will receive various types of signals input by various sensors through industrial controllers, and can issue work instructions to various executing components such as axis components, thereby driving the truss robot to complete corresponding command operation actions.
