Robotic Arm/Actuator for Automated Lens Loader

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Robotic Arm/Actuator

Definition

This robotic arm/actuator is a component designed for automated systems, specifically serving as the primary motion component in an Automated Lens Loader system. Its function is to accurately pick up, transport, and place optical lenses during manufacturing or assembly processes. The unit converts electrical or pneumatic energy into controlled mechanical motion through servo motors, linear actuators, or pneumatic cylinders, guided by programmed instructions to achieve precise positioning and movement of lenses. Typical materials include aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and engineering plastics. Key parameters, which must be verified for the specific model, include a rated load of 0.5–10 kg (ISO 9283), a reach of 400–1500 mm, 4–6 degrees of freedom, repeatability of ±0.02–±0.1 mm (ISO 9283), maximum speed of 1–5 m/s, operating voltage of 24 V DC ±10% (IEC 61131-2), power consumption of 50–500 W, operating temperature of -10 to 50 °C (IEC 60068-2-1), protection class IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529), and weight of 10–100 kg. The structural material is aluminum alloy 6061-T6 (ASTM B211). These values are reference ranges; confirm model-specific specifications with the legal manufacturer or supplier. The component is intended for integration into automated lens handling equipment, where its performance directly impacts throughput and quality. Selection should consider payload, reach, repeatability, speed, and environmental conditions. Interfaces include electrical and pneumatic connections, and verification should include testing under actual load conditions. Maintenance signals include unusual noise, vibration, or positioning errors. Failure boundaries are defined by the manufacturer's specifications; exceeding load or speed limits may cause damage.

Working Principle

The robotic arm/actuator operates by converting electrical or pneumatic energy into controlled mechanical motion. Servo motors, linear actuators, or pneumatic cylinders provide the driving force, while a control system executes programmed instructions to guide the arm through precise movements. The arm's joints allow multiple degrees of freedom, enabling it to position an end effector (such as a gripper) accurately in space. Feedback from sensors (e.g., encoders) ensures closed-loop control, maintaining the desired position and speed. The system is designed for repetitive tasks, such as picking up lenses from a feeder, transporting them, and placing them into a loader, with high repeatability.
