Abstract
AbstractImproving the dynamic path accuracy has been a major research topic in industrial robotics for decades. It is known that the drivetrains installed in the robot joints limit further improvements. There is a lot more literature on the dynamic behavior of harmonic drives (HDs) than for cycloidal drives (CDs), that are usually installed in industrial robots (IRs) with heavy payload. However, a more profound knowledge of the occurring effects offers the potential for both, design- and control-based enhancements. Therefore, this paper presents an experimental study of the friction and hysteresis behavior with explicit consideration of further dependencies, such as temperature and load. Based on these investigations, a model as well as a control-based compensation approach, that does not require additional gearbox output sensors, is proposed. The investigation and validation are carried out with an experimental setup equivalent to the drivetrain of an IR with heavy payload.
