Design of Orbital Mobile Robot System for Electroplating Production Line

Abstract

Abstract For different electroplating processes, there are many automatic electroplating production lines at present, but there is still no long-distance electroplating production line for small batches and multiple varieties of plated parts. Therefore, this paper proposes a set of orbital mobile robot systems to improve the production efficiency and quality of electroplating and reduce the uncertainty of manual control. The hardware of the system is composed of an orbital car and a robotic arm. The orbital car includes mobile positioning and a holding brake mechanism and the robotic arm adopts KUKA kr20-r2100 industrial robot. According to the logic of moving and grabbing, the control framework of the system is determined. A lot of field experiments show that the designed system can adapt to the factory environment and automatically complete the scheduling tasks assigned by the system.
