Are you taking care about your new KUKA Robot? Or are you forgetting this?

Are you taking care about your new KUKA Robot? Or are you forgetting this?

 

When passing through companies here in Brazil, I came across the following problem, most of the integrated KUKA robots are without load determination! When integrating into robotic cells, the load determination is something that should not be missed, as it is with it that you will make last longer the reducers, servants, pulleys, among other important parts of the manipulator. Without the load determination, the kuka robot comes from the factory with the disregarded determination (your robot will work ignoring the tool's mass) or at the robot's maximum payload (your robot will be forcing itself to lift a feather). Both conditions will make the robot wear out faster. With the correct load determination, the robot optimizes the movements for the correct mass informed, increasing the useful life and decreasing the cycle time of the process.

 

How to make the correct load determination? There are 2 ways for you to do the load determination.

3D modeling software: With 3D modeling software (Solidworks, Creo, among others) you obtain the necessary data for the load determination by modeling the tool and manually insert it into the robot through numerical input (in the case of the tool) and additional load data (in the case additional loads for the robot). Required data:

->Mass of the tool and additional loads;

->Center of mass in X, Y and Z in relation to the robot flange for tool and additional load on the A3 axis;

->For additional loads on axles A1 and A2, the distance from the center of mass is in relation to axis A1;

->Inertia movements in LX, LY and LZ in the unit of measurement in kgm2.


Loaddatadatermination technological package: KUKA offers a specific technological package for this.

Be friends with your robot and make the load determination! It will last longer!

Addendum: Compare load determination with KUKA LOAD to verify that the robot is not overloaded.

Let's talk about program standardization ...

 Hello guys! Let's go to the third blog post! Something indispensable for maintenance in the industry is the easy and quick interpretation of the programming, for which it is essential to standardize the programming. If the maintainer visualizes the programming and in a few moments can understand the logic described, the maintenance of the equipment becomes faster! As my area of ​​understanding is KUKA robotics, I will raise some points of KRL programming. Points that I think are important for a standardization of programming: -> If possible, use a main program with global subprograms. In the main program have the macro logical structure of the station and global subprograms with the specific logics for each process in which the robot does, some examples of subprograms: deposit machine 1, withdraw machine 1, deposit machine 2 and withdraw machine 2. So if example the maintainer visually verifies a problem in the deposit of machine 1, he already knows where in the program he will...

Help maintenance work faster with the company's robots.

 Is the company's maintenance taking too long to save points in the schedule? But are you able to save it more easily? To save the points it is essential to create a TCP plus coordinate system, especially if the machines are not in level with the robot. See the example below: While the robot is manipulating, the deposit and handle position of this machine is angularly different from the robot's coordinate system, for example, when i have to move only the tool forward, due to the problem reported above i have to move the robot in X and Y making a "step ladder", this type of movement is very difficult when fine adjustments are needed. Remembering that the robot works on the right hand rule. After the creation of a TCP plus coordinate system for the tool, the adjustments became easier, since the robot's movement will be in relation to this created system. To move the robot forward in the new case, it would use only the Cartesian X axis. There are several items that m...
