When choosing a power manipulator, load capacity is a crucial factor that is directly related to the performance, production efficiency and safety of the equipment. The following is a detailed guide on how to choose the right load:

1. Clarify the application scenario and the weight of the object being transported

• The specific weight of the object?: When selecting the load capacity of the manipulator, the weight of the actual object to be handled should be considered first. If the heaviest weight of the object to be handled is 30 kg, choosing a manipulator that can withstand a load of 200 kg will not only increase unnecessary costs, but may also cause operational inconvenience. Therefore, a manipulator that matches the weight of the object should be selected to achieve the highest cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency.
• Consider the type and shape of the object?: Sometimes it is not just heavy objects that are being moved, but also objects with complex shapes or that are difficult to grasp. Therefore, in addition to weight, it is also necessary to consider the volume and shape of the object and whether a specific clamp or special operation method is required.

2. Combine the type and characteristics of the robot

• Rigid arm manipulator?: This type of manipulator is suitable for handling heavy workpieces that are prone to torque. For example, when large and rigid objects need to be moved, the rigid arm manipulator can better exert its stability and load capacity.
• Soft-cable assisted manipulators?: This type of manipulator is usually suitable for handling lighter objects, especially in situations where the displacement is not large. They are more flexible and suitable for working environments with small spaces and high operating precision. Therefore, when selecting a load, it is necessary to determine the type of manipulator based on the actual usage scenario.

3. Consider material and structural design

• Influence of material?: The material of the manipulator has a direct impact on its load capacity. For example, a manipulator made of all-aluminum alloy is not only light in weight, but also has a high load capacity and durability. Therefore, when selecting a load, you also need to pay attention to the material of the equipment to ensure that the manipulator can operate stably for a long time in a high-load working environment.
• Structural design considerations?: The structural design of the manipulator affects its load distribution and service life. For example, certain designs can better disperse the load, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the equipment. A well-designed manipulator can not only handle larger loads, but also ensure the stability and safety of operation.

4. Safe load range and margin

• Consider safety margin?: To ensure safe use, it is recommended to leave a certain margin for the manipulator when selecting the load. Do not leave the manipulator in an extreme load state for a long time to avoid failure or damage caused by overloading the equipment. Generally, it is recommended to reserve a 10%-20% margin when selecting the load to ensure that the equipment remains stable during long-term use.

in conclusion

Choosing the right load for the robot requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including the application scenario, the actual weight of the object, the type of robot and its structural design. By clarifying the needs and selecting the load that matches the handling task, not only can production efficiency be improved, but also the safety and long-term reliability of the equipment can be ensured.
