1. The manipulator adopts all-steel plate dust cover, as our company's patented product, the manipulator is professionally designed and manufactured for the thermal spraying industry, with dustproof, heat insulation, bump resistance, strong rigidity and large load.

2. This manipulator adopts Delta servo motor, which can spray long workpieces, the X-axis is horizontal, the Y-axis is vertical, and the manipulator can automatically move to the specified position, with high positioning and repeatability.

3. The operation program of the manipulator adopts a built-in automatic program, and when operating, only a few simple parameters need to be entered, and a variety of path planning can be completed without .

4. It has the function of automatic round-trip and counting. The round-trip length can be easily set, and the counting will automatically stop when the count is in place, and it can be connected to the turntable.

5. The main electrical components adopt international brands to effectively ensure the trouble-free operation of the equipment.

1.Repair of metal parts: In machinery manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and other industries, many metal parts will have problems such as wear and corrosion due to long-term use. The two-axis robot can precisely control the thermal spray gun to spray the metal coating on the worn parts, restore the size and performance of the parts, extend their service life, and reduce equipment maintenance costs.

2.Surface strengthening treatment: For some parts that need to improve surface hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, such as molds, mechanical shafts, etc., the two-axis manipulator can evenly spray the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating materials on the surface of the workpiece, enhance the surface properties of the parts, and improve their reliability and stability in harsh working environments.

3.R&D of new coating materials: In the development of new thermal spray coating materials, spraying experiments with different formulations of materials are required to evaluate their performance and applicability. The two-axis manipulator can accurately spray the new coating material on different substrates according to the experimental requirements, providing reliable experimental data support for material research and development.

Product Operate Guide     

1. Preparation before start-up

Make sure the work area is clean and clutter-free, with the right temperature and humidity (0 - 40°C, 20% - 80%).

Check the mechanical structure, connections and cables, and prepare the end effector and materials.

2. Boot and initialization

Turn on the power supply, pay attention to the indicator light, and check the self-test abnormality.

Wait for the robotic arm to automatically return to the original point and display "Initialization Completed".

3. Manual operation mode

Switch to the "Manual" mode and use the panel buttons to control the movement of the robotic arm.

Press the corresponding button to control the robotic arm to move along the X and Y axes, familiarize yourself with the operation at low speed, and be close to the material adjustment position.

Use the push button to control the end effector and test the gripper opening and closing and gripping force.

4. Automatic programming and teaching operation

Toggle the "Programming" mode to enable the teaching function, connect the teaching box or use the touch screen.

The hand-held teaching box pulls the robotic arm according to the process, sets the parameters of each point and the spray gun, and records the key information generation program.

Save the program and test run it to fix the exception.

5. Automatic operation

Start after confirming that the workpiece, material, and parameters are correct.

Switch the "Auto" mode and press the "Start" button to monitor the operation and press "Stop" in case of abnormality to troubleshoot.

6. Parameter adjustment

Adjust the motion parameters of the robot arm in the panel or software, balance speed and accuracy, and optimize start and stop.

Adjust the parameters of the end effector according to the task, grasp the material steadily, and adjust the spray gun.

7. Shutdown process

At the end of the task, the robotic arm is returned to the original point and the end effector is returned to its position.

After switching to the "manual" mode, turn off the control system, the main power supply, and clean the equipment in turn.

Q: Do you need special site conditions for the installation of the manipulator?

A: It is generally recommended to install it in a dry, well-ventilated indoor environment without strong vibration, and the ground should have a certain bearing capacity and be able to place the equipment smoothly. The operating temperature range should be 0 - 40°C, beyond which the performance of electronic components and the stability of mechanical structure may be affected, such as overheating protection of high temperature easy electric engine, low temperature increases the viscosity of lubricating oil and affects transmission efficiency.

Q: How can I maintain high accuracy over a long period of time?

A: Regular maintenance is very important, clean the dust and oil on the surface of the robotic arm at specified intervals to prevent it from entering the mechanical structure and affecting the accuracy; Check and tighten the connecting parts to avoid loosening; Regular lubrication of transmission parts such as screw rods and guide rails to reduce wear; In addition, the accuracy is recalibrated at a certain interval of production batches or cycles, the ambient temperature and humidity are monitored in real time, and the process parameters are adjusted in time to adapt to environmental changes to ensure high-precision operations.

Q: Can other existing automation equipment of the company be linked with a two-axis robot?

A: Yes, the manipulator has a variety of communication interfaces, such as RS485, Ethernet, etc., as long as your existing automation equipment has the corresponding communication capabilities, by writing the appropriate communication protocol, you can realize data interaction and linkage control, and collaborate to complete complex production tasks, such as cooperating with PLC to realize production line automation process control, and industrial robots to complete large-scale workpiece processing.
