Industrial robot is an important automation equipment in modern manufacturing industry, which integrates multi-disciplinary advanced technologies such as machinery, electronics, control, computer, sensor and artificial intelligence. The widespread use of industrial robots can not only improve the quality and output of products, but also play a very important role in safeguarding personal safety, improving the working environment, reducing labor intensity, increasing labor productivity, saving raw material consumption and reducing production costs.
The key technologies of industrial robots include:
Open and modular control system architecture: using distributed CPU computer structure, it is divided into robot control motion controller, photoelectric isolation control board, sensor processing board and programming teaching box.
2. Modular and hierarchical controller software system: The software system is based on an open source real-time multitasking operating system, and adopts a layered and modular structure design to realize the openness of the software system. The whole controller software system is divided into three layers: hardware driver layer, core layer and application layer.
3. Robot failure diagnosis and safety maintenance technology: Diagnosing robot failures and carrying out corresponding maintenance through various information is the key technology to ensure robot safety.
4. Networked robot controller technology: At present, the application engineering of robots has developed from a single robot workstation to a robot production line, and the networking technology of robot controllers has become more and more important. The controller has the networking functions of serial port, field bus and Ethernet. It can be used for communication between robot controllers and between robot controllers and the host computer, which is convenient for monitoring, diagnosing and managing robot production lines.
The main task of industrial robot control technology is to control the motion position, posture and trajectory, operation sequence and action time of industrial robots in the workspace. It has the characteristics of simple programming, software menu operation, friendly human-computer interaction interface, online operation prompts and convenient use. Like computer and network technology, the widespread application of industrial robots is increasingly changing the production and lifestyle of human beings.
