Finite Element Analysis of a Robotic Arm for Electronic Devices Transportation: Design and Simulation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: \nAutomation of various routine operations using the robotics arm in industrial automation is crucial for bridging innovative systems and production procedures, thereby speeding up the manufacturing process by reducing overall cycle times. In this work, Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to simulate a robotic arm for handling electronic printers to foster their transportation. The analysis considers different loads and materials which include AISI 304, cast carbon steel, aluminium alloy 1060, malleable cast iron and AISI 1020. The effects of discrete particulate mechanical properties, concerning material, load zone and design configuration parameters were revealed. The remarkable result of these simulations shows displacement, tensile and compressive strain distribution values as a conclusion of the better capacity for anticipated lightweight operation using aluminium alloy 1060 robotic arm transporting device. In addition, the current simulations give a profound picture of how materials are selected to maximize the operational process.\n
