Abstract:Taking the rice noodle production of a factory as the research background, a robot with double arms that can move independently is designed. The robot was mainly composed of actuator, drive system, control system and position detection sensor. The integral framework and working flowchart of grasping robot were described. The working principle and design scheme of grasping mechanism, shift system as well as Programmable Logical Controller (PLC) control system were described in detail. The rice noodle to be bundled was transported from the end of the support platform to an automatic strapping machine for binding by the robot, cooperating with original conveyor. The result shows that, the productivity can be improved and the labor intensity can be reduced with the grasping robot designed.
