Briefly explain what is the working principle of 5-axis manipulator?

In modern industrial automation production, five-axis robot plays an extremely important role, whether in the field of injection moulding, or many other manufacturing processes, have a wide range of applications, including injection moulding machine five-axis robot is for injection moulding production has brought high efficiency and precision.

Five-axis robot mainly consists of mechanical structure, drive system, control system and other parts. Mechanical structure usually includes arms, joints, end-effectors and other components, these components work together, making the robot can move flexibly in three-dimensional space, and complete a variety of complex operational tasks. Injection moulding machine five-axis manipulator in the structure design will be optimized for the needs of the injection moulding process, to ensure that it can accurately take out the injection moulded products and carry out the subsequent processing action.

Its working principle is based on multi-axis linkage control. Each of the five axes is responsible for movement in different directions. For example, the three linear axes (X, Y, Z) enable the robot to move forward and backward, left and right, and up and down in space, while the two rotary axes (A, C) enable the end-effector to achieve rotary and tilting movements. Taking the 5-axis robot for injection moulding machine as an example, in the process of injection moulding, when the injection moulding machine completes one injection cycle and the mould is opened, the control system of the 5-axis robot will receive the signal and then start up quickly; the X, Y, Z axes will act firstly to move the robot arm accurately to the upper position of the product in the mould, and the A, C axes will adjust the end-effector's attitude according to the shape of the product and the requirement of taking out to ensure that the product can be gripped in a stable manner. The A and C axes adjust the attitude of the end-effector according to the shape of the product and the requirement of taking out to ensure the stable gripping of the product. In this process, the 5-axis servo robot precisely controls the movement speed, position and strength of each axis by servo motors to achieve high-speed and high-precision movement execution.

After gripping the product, the five-axis manipulator will carry the product to the designated location, such as cooling area, inspection area or packaging area, according to the preset programme path. During the whole working process, the control system constantly monitors and adjusts the motion status of each axis to cope with various possible disturbing factors, ensuring that the robot can always complete the task accurately and stably.

By virtue of its flexible multi-axis linkage and precise control, the five-axis manipulator greatly improves the production efficiency and product quality, reduces the labour cost and labour intensity, and becomes an indispensable key equipment in the automated production line of modern manufacturing industry, which provides a strong support for the development of the intelligence and efficiency of industrial production.
