Industrial robot track modeling and vibration suppression
Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the vibration suppression of industrial track robot and propose a practical solution.
Design/methodology/approach – Root-cause analysis through dynamic modeling, and vibration suppression using the acceleration smoother.
Findings – The vibration is due to insufficient damping based on the model analysis. The solution achieved significant performance improvement
without redesign of robot hardware and controller.
Research limitations/implications – The design of the proposed acceleration smoother is still empirical based, which is unable to achieve optimal
design.
Practical implications – This solution is very easy to implement. It is robust, reliable and is able to generate consistent results.
Originality/value – A very practical industrial solution, especially useful for upgrading the existing systems in the field without redesign the hardware
and controller.
