Redesign upper arm of Delta robot using topology optimization method
Abstract
Robots in general and Delta robot in particular are used more and more in factories and automatic production lines. Delta robot is a kind of parallel robot with many advantages: fast-moving speed, great productivity. The time requirements for product design and manufacturing must be reduced and shortened in the context of global economic integration. In particular, the quality and price of products are two important factors that determine the success of a product designed on the market. Therefore, product designers always seek to design products using as few materials as possible, but the durability and mechanical properties of the products are guaranteed. Therefore, using topology optimization method in design is an approach that can support designers. An application of topology optimization method to redesign a part of the Delta robot arm is presented in this paper. The redesigned part is lighter, consumes less material but still ensures its mechanical properties.
