With the development of technology and the recurrence of the epidemic in the past two years. Manual handling is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and also consumes a lot of costs, which is really an unnecessary expense for many factories. At this point, the truss manipulator is perfect for factories, as it can directly automate warehouse and logistics management and achieve unmanned production workshops. So, how to choose the appropriate truss manipulator?
Firstly, it is necessary to understand what a truss manipulator is and what its characteristics are.
The truss manipulator mainly consists of six parts: column, X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, fixture, and control system. Applied in processes such as workpiece loading and unloading, transfer, material stacking, and transportation, it can greatly improve efficiency and stability, reduce labor costs, complete automated operations, and achieve unmanned production workshops.
Truss manipulator application industries: automotive parts industry, food industry, logistics industry, processing and manufacturing industry, tobacco and alcohol industry, wood processing industry, machine tool processing industry.
Advantages of Truss Manipulators
1. Adopting high-strength structural steel, the overall strength is high and it is not easy to vibrate and shake. The linear guide rail and gear rack motion mechanism have strong load-bearing capacity and excellent rigidity.
2. The installation and adjustment requirements are low. Compared to complex joint robots, the structural design is easy for personnel to understand, easy to operate, and easy to maintain.
3. Easy to maintain, if the guide rail is damaged, the bolt connection method is convenient for replacement.
4. It can be configured as a fully closed loop system, which will detect in real-time whether the commands issued by the robotic arm control system are consistent with the actual position (such as non full closed loop, gear damage, and other inaccurate actual movement that the control system cannot perceive). When the Z-axis detects falling, it can be mechanically locked to prevent safety accidents.
5. High cost-effectiveness, compared to joint robots with equal weight, the cost of truss robots is lower.
6. The truss manipulator is generally placed above the equipment and does not occupy ground space, which is more convenient for workshop planning and operation.
Secondly, it is important to understand whether the purchased truss manipulator is guaranteed.
When choosing a truss manipulator, we need to consider the size of the company and also pay attention to the customer’s reputation. We need to see which cases this brand has done and which companies it has cooperated with. Additionally, the after-sales warranty period is long and extremely guaranteed. Additionally, our own design and production factories will have patent certificates. If necessary, you can ask the company to provide a patent certificate.
Once again, be sure to shop around.
There are many merchants selling truss manipulators in the market, and it is necessary to compare the goods with three others in order to choose truss manipulators with high cost-effectiveness.
Finally, try to conduct on-site inspections as much as possible.
When you start ordering truss manipulators, you need to conduct a field inspection to check the size, configuration, and production situation of the manufacturer. If possible, you can also go to its application site for a field inspection to know how the truss manipulators produced by the manufacturer are. Of course, we also need to distinguish from the quality of the truss manipulators, pre-sales and after-sales service attitude, and satisfaction.
