A comparative introduction of a truss-type manipulator and a six-axis articulated robot

The automation transformation of CNC machine tools, according to the characteristics of the product itself, as well as the evaluation of the production environment, often derives the use of truss manipulators and industrial robots

Two different types of automation equipment can achieve the intended purpose, so what is the difference between these two modes, the following is a comparison of them

When you choose, you can get the automated production equipment that suits you.

1. Truss manipulator: based on the right-angle X, Y, Z three-coordinate system, the workpiece is adjusted to the station, or the trajectory movement of the workpiece is realized. Its control core is realized by industrial controllers (such as: PLC, motion control, single-chip microcomputer, etc.). Through the analysis and processing of various input (various sensors, buttons, etc.) signals by the controller, after making certain logical judgments, the execution command is issued to each output component (relay, motor driver, indicator light, etc.) to complete the joint movement between the X, Y, and Z axes, so as to realize a complete set of fully automatic operation process.

2. Six-joint CNC machine tool manipulator: In view of the requirements of automatic production of CNC machine tools, the solution with six-joint manipulator as the core automation unit is adopted, which has the advantages of wide applicability, flexibility and diversity, strong synergy, rapid mass production, etc., to meet the requirements of flexible production process to the greatest extent, and can meet the production requirements of automatic loading and unloading, automatic flipping, automatic detection, automatic conversion and other workpieces such as discs, long shafts, gearboxes, irregular shapes, and metal plates.
