Research on a Robot for Grasping and Transporting Workpieces on the Production Line

This research paper aims to study a manipulator for grasping and transporting workpieces on the production line. We refer to the existing industrial manipulator structure of CNC machine tools in the market to design my research paper. Its main function is to carry 18mm workpiece, which requires two degrees of freedom of movement: left and right, up and down, and the function of manipulator to grasp the workpiece. At first, we imagined to realize the left and right movement of the manipulator through the synchronous belt guide rail, and the up and down sliding through the screw slider. Finally, we designed a parallelogram structure at the paw to achieve the grasping of the hand. By connecting these parts to form a complete industrial manipulator, and finally selecting the drive device according to needs, we can complete the movement and grasp of the manipulator we need.
