Structural Design and Stiffness Analysis of A Truss Manipulator
The truss manipulator is an important component of the automatic welding production line.In order to meet the requirements of a certain enterprise's forklift gantry automatic welding production line for large span,high load capacity,and high accuracy,a truss manipulator with an effective travel length of 36 m and a width of 9.76 m was designed and developed,with a maximum load capacity of 1.5 tons.To ensure its structural performance re-quirements,finite element analysis tools were used to verify that its maximum deformation is less than 2 mm,and the structural stiffness and strength meet the design requirements;After the manufacturing of the truss manipulator,it was verified through on-site installation testing that the overall performance indicators met the needs of users.
