Manipulators were first used in the automotive manufacturing industry, often used in welding, painting, loading and unloading and handling. The assistant manipulator enlarges the function of human hand, foot and brain. It can replace human to work in dangerous, harmful, toxic, low temperature and high heat environment. In the same way, the assistant manipulator can replace human to complete heavy and monotonous repeated work, improve labor productivity and ensure product quality. At present, assistant manipulators are mainly used in manufacturing industry, especially in electrical appliance manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, plastic processing, general machinery manufacturing, metal processing, industry and other industries.
In the product structure of booster manipulator, special clamp is also an important part, which directly relates to the specific application of booster manipulator in various industries and types of work.
The design of special fixture for booster manipulator needs non-standard design for different parts. The following factors should be considered in the design:
1. The adaptability of assembly process location;
2. Installing workpieces should be convenient and fast.
3. Release the workpiece safely and quickly.
4. Safety protection of workpieces, body and machine tools;
5. Consider rigidity, strength and ease of use.
6. Application of different fixtures: In general assembly line and machining line, the safety protection of operators, car bodies and machine tools should be considered comprehensively in the design, and the functions of assistant manipulator over-position alarm, reset and parking should be taken into account.
