Project Info
Casting Robot is a four -axis gravity casting robot designed and implemented under a contract with Iran Piston making Co. Tabriz, Iran. The technical Specification of the robot is as following:
| This robot is designed and implemented on a contract with Iran Piston making Co. Tabriz, Iran. The robot workspace is more than two meters, and it weighs more than one thousand kilogram. The robot will provide the piston making gravitational die machine with apprpriate amount of aluminum melt. |
| Technical Specification | |
| Robot Type | Articulated |
| Actuators | DC Motors |
| Number of axis | 4 |
| Payload | 5 Kg |
| Max. Reach | 2100 mm |
| Accuracy | 5 mm |
| Repeatability | ±2.5 mm |
| weight | 1000 Kg |
| Mounting Position | Floor |
The robot is electrically driven with servo DC-motors with gearboxes. The significant weight of the robot arms are counterweighted using a hydro-pneumatic system. The robot electronics consists of power drives signal conditioning boards, safety relays and micro switches, instrumentation boards, and teaching pendant. The robot is digitally controlled using an IPC and accurately instrumented with incremental encoders.
