Abstract

In this study, fatigue damage on a robot gripper which is made of AISI 1040 steel, was investigated by using SolidWorks Simulations. CAD data of the robot gripper was created by SolidWorks software. On the other hand, structural analysis and fatigue damage check were performed by SolidWorks Simulations. Design of the robot gripper was modified by using shape optimization and alternative shapes were tried to find out the best fatigue life for robot gripper. As a result, the design of the robot gripper was modified after a feedback process. 20 % decrease was provided in gripper weight. It is understood that, maximum stresses on fatigue damage area decreased and operating life was improved according to simulation results.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, AISI 1040 çelik malzemeden talaşlı şekil verme ile üretilmiş bir robot tutucunun yorulma hasarı, SolidWorks Simulations yazılımı kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Tutucunun katı modeli SolidWorks yazılımında oluşturulmuş, SolidWorks Simulations ile lineer gerilme analizi ve yorulma hasarı kontrolü yapılmıştır. Tutucunun tasarımı değiştirilerek alternatif tasarımlar araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak tutucunun tasarımı geri beslemeli bir süreç sonrasında değişmiştir. Tutucunun ağırlığında yaklaşık % 20 azalma sağlanmıştır. Yapılan tasarım değişikliği sonrasında tutucuda oluşan maksimum gerilmelerin azaldığı ve robot tutucunun hasar alana kadar geçen süresinin arttığı belirlenmiştir.
