All along, "lightweight" has been a relatively clear label for the application of carbon fiber composite materials. With the increasingly prominent role of intelligent mechanization in the global industrial field, the robot arm is an important component of industrial robots. Carbon fiber composite materials are emerging The material can be used as the manufacturing material of the robotic arm, which will inevitably bring more development space for the development of a new generation of industrial robots.
The more common application fields of industrial robots on the market are handling, spot welding, spraying, and arc welding. In order to adapt to these different types of work, it is often important to select materials. The indispensable part of the steel structure of industrial robots is steel. Some robots use aluminum materials to reduce weight. At present, many robot manufacturers will begin to use carbon fiber composite materials, which also conforms to the application trend.
The industrial robot arm is too heavy, the load is large and the inertia is large, and the light mechanical strength will cause problems. The carbon fiber mechanical arm has a small specific gravity and high strength. It can be used in industrial robots to reduce the overall weight, be more energy-saving and efficient, and adapt to labor intensity and improve product quality. In different usage scenarios, industrial robots have different material requirements. Some need to prevent corrosion, and some must be able to withstand high pressure and high temperature, so you need to choose flexibly according to the actual use scenario. Because carbon fiber itself has wear resistance, small thermal expansion coefficient, stable physical properties, and excellent fatigue resistance, it is used in the production of mechanical arms, which will reduce the maintenance times of industrial robots and extend their service life.
In the context of large-scale production, the application of carbon fiber manipulators will bring safer performance and higher work efficiency to industrial robots, which will effectively reduce production costs and save energy. With the further integration with new material technologies, the industrial robot industry will play a greater role in driving economic development and achieving industrial transformation.
