What is a manipulator?

What is a manipulator? Firstly, the CNC lathe manipulator attachment uses to fix the processing object during the mechanical manufacturing process to make it occupy the correct position. CNC lathe manipulator attachment uses to support construction or inspection installation, also known as attachment.

 Any process used to install the part quickly, conveniently, and safely can call CNC lathe manipulator clamping. Machine tool accessories are the most common, often called accessories for short.

Scope of application:

According to the application characteristics of CNC manipulator parts and accessories, it can be divided into:

1. Dedicated fixture.

What is a manipulator? Moreover, it is specially designed and manufactured to fix a specific part of the product in a particular process. The purpose of the service focuses and highly relevant. It usually develops by the product manufacturer himself.

Eventually, it is commonly used as lathe attachments and milling machine attachments. Drilling dies, boring dies (machine tool attachments to guide the boring bar for drilling holes in the workpiece). In addition, the accompanying accessories are used for mobile clamping in the automatic line of modular machine tools).

2. Universal procedures and fixing

What is a manipulator? Such as lathes, chucks, suction cups, indexing heads, rotary tables, etc. It has excellent versatility and can better adapt to the transformation of processing procedures and processing objects. The structure was finalized, and the size and specifications were series. Subsequently, most manipulator attachments have become standard attachments for machine tools.

3. Combo manipulator accessories

It is a fastener composed of standardized components of different shapes and specifications. It is used for manipulator accessories and is suitable for single-piece, small-batch productions.

What is a manipulator? Secondly, the design of the manipulator should be such that the positioning accuracy of the plasma torch is high (this will ensure the exact location of the heating spot between the workpiece and the cutting tool), the maintenance of the manipulator when reinstalling the plasma torch is convenient, and the time spent on reinstallation is small;

Product Advantages and Simple installation and operation

What is a manipulator? Moreover, installation is convenient, the operation is simple, and there is no professional requirement for the user. The equipment has a high degree of freedom. As well as it can turn and mill in line, and it can also rotate and rub for automatic detection at the same time. Moreover, it can be suitable for various automated processing and loading and unloading needs.

MANIPULATORS

Firstly, the manipulators are fixed on the plasma torch in a particular position relative to the workpiece being processed is carried out using manipulators.

 Manipulators have the following requirements:

 • Fastening of the plasma torch in a given position must be rigid;

• There should be low sensitivity to vibrations that occur during processing.

On fig. 29.3 shows a manipulator with manual movement of the plasma torch in the processing area of ​​a lathe. The manipulator consists of a base 9, on which carriages 7 and 8 are installed to move the round guide 3 in two mutually perpendicular directions.

What is the manipulator angle of rotation measures?

 The base nine fixes in the tool holder of the lathe. Guide three and carriage 4 allow you to move the pantograph 2 with the plasma torch 7 in the vertical direction. Pantograph 2 serves to rotate the plasma torch in a horizontal plane. Furthermore, it is driven by handle 6.

Subsequently, the angle of rotation is measured by dial 5. The process of the plasmatron in the vertical plane carries out by turning the pantograph with dial five and handle six around the horizontal axis in the bearing located in carriage 4.

What is a manipulator? The manipulator is shown in fig. 29.4, designed to mount on the support of a heavy screw-cutting lathe. It allows you to make a rough adjustment of the position of the plasma torch using handle ten and nut 9 when the arc is off.

Furthermore, the plasma torch’s position can be adjusted before starting work or during turning. The flywheel 6 moves the plasma torch, clamped in holder 7, in the horizontal direction at a distance of up to 200 mm.

What is manipulator manual movement?

As well as the rotation of the plasma torch around the horizontal axis carries out with the help of handle four and the worm paired with wheel 8, and around the vertical axis – with flywheel seven and the worm paired with wheel 2.

The angles of rotation count with an accuracy of carries out according to the dials 3 and 5. In addition, all rotations and linear movements carry out independently of each other, due to which the manipulator is quite versatile.

Manipulator with the manually adjustable position of the plasma torch

The scheme of the manipulator with remote control of the part of the plasma torch for a large lathe is shown in fig. 29.5. In body 13 of the manipulator, the boom 22 moves rigidly connected to the nut 19.

In addition, the nut moves from the lead screw 18, which receives rotation from the stepper motor 27 through the worm 10, the worm wheel 28, and the hollow shaft 77 and further through the bevel gear (14 and 17).

Further, inside the lead screw, there is a telescopic shaft 20, which rotates the bracket 25 through the worm 21 and the wheel 26. Clamp 23 electrically isolates from the manipulator and mounts on the bracket where the plasma torch is installed. Shaft 20 is driven by a stepper motor 9 through a worm 29 and a wheel eight and further through a bevel gear.

Lastly, by turning the bracket 25 and clamp 23 around the axis of the clamping screw with nut 24, the plasma torch installed is relative to the workpiece being processed at a given angle.

The manipulator suspends from bracket one and rigidly attaches to the carousel slider. The vertical movement of the slider with bracket 1, the manipulator also moves, and the smooth part of the body 13 guides and is supported by bracket 12, fixed on the machine support.
