Understanding allowable torque and moment of inertia

  • The payload of the robot (Payload: model below - 165Kg) is sufficient for the robot to carry and work. It refers to the weight.
  • Even if the payload is 165Kg, the farther the center of gravity is from the reference point, the more torque there is. As it gets bigger, the allowable payload becomes smaller . (See picture below)
  • Based on the center of gravity Even if the torque value is the same, the moment of inertia varies depending on the speed. It gets bigger.
  • In other words, even if the tool or workpiece is light if the center of gravity is far from the reference point, The allowable payload decreases drastically.

- If the moment of inertia or torque exceeds, the distance from the possible reference point is determined. It is better to reduce it.

- The allowable payload of the robot is proportional to the tool weight and the square of the distance. It is inversely proportional.

Excess Use Cases

Applicable robot: HS165 (carrying weight 165Kg), tool (145Kg)

It seems that there will be no problem by installing a tool that is less than the payload, but the tool The distance between the center and the reference point appears far.

(Robot: HS165, tool weight: 145Kg)

Find the distance and inertia of the tool's center of mass.

  • Use robot load estimation software
  • Use of 3D modeling data from tools

The result of applying the load calculation is as follows.

  • Weight: Outside the range of use.
  • Torque: 4,5 axes not available
  • Inertia: Not available for 4th and 5th axes

How to improve when overload

  • If the load is exceeded, reduce the tool weight or **reduce the load to the center of gravity of the tool. There is a way** to reduce the distance.
  • A method of reducing the distance is more effective. There are two ways as follows: When improving by method , if only the weight is reduced, the excess inertia will not be improved. No.
  • Load calculation uses our load analysis program HRLoad. (HRLoad download)

EUREKA 114 was developed to solve the initial noise problem of  VIGO RE 0 . , VIGO This product has greatly improved initial test operation noise compared to grease. However, please be aware that mixing the above greases together in the same reducer may cause some noise.

1. Problem

  • VIGO + EUREKA Noise occurs when mixed oil
  • Noise persists when the ratio of VIGO or EUREKA is more than 20%

2. History

The grease for the reducer applied to our robots is as follows.

  • VIGO RE 0: Period of use 2014 ~ 2020.9 (based on HS165, HS220)
  • EUREKA 114: Period of use 2020.9 ~ (based on HS220)

3. There is no major problem if you inject it after removing the existing grease.

If you are working with mixed grease, please replace it using the method below.

  • Residual amount suggested by manufacturer: 10% (Noise usually disappears when less than 20%)
  • In order to maintain the remaining oil amount below 10% during actual grease replacement work, the push method must be performed more than 3 times.

Gas spring monitoring

Hi5a controller provides the function to monitor the pressure of the gas spring to manage the gas spring type balance spring.

The prerequisites for using this feature are as follows:

  • Function provided only in controller main software MV40.17-00 or higher
  • The actual pressure of the gas spring must be accurate. (140bar) – monitoring for subsequent changes
  • Robot load estimation must be performed accurately.

See manual for details

Function comparison

info

Pressure estimated at rest is less accurate than pressure estimated using the command method. If an abnormal pressure is detected in a stopped state, re-estimate the pressure using the command method or measure the actual pressure using a pressure gauge. If the estimated pressure at rest is still significantly different from the estimated pressure by command method, set the 'Estimation gas pressure at rest' setting to 'Estimate' or 'Invalid'.

caution
  • Since nitrogen gas filling is high pressure, please follow the safety regulations of your country.
  • Nitrogen gas filling and inspection must be performed by trained personnel and in accordance with the manual.
  • Please fill only nitrogen gas. (Never fill gases other than nitrogen gas or liquid nitrogen.)
  • Be sure to wear safety glasses when working.
  • Never look directly into the gas inlet or pressure gauge.
  • If damage occurs, such as when assembling a gas spring with a different stroke, completely remove the gas and then separate it.
  • For safety considerations and to preserve product performance, disassembly and assembly of gas spring internal parts can only be done using designated standard work tools and equipment with appropriate training and understanding of the product. For inquiries regarding this, please contact us. Please contact us.
  • When measuring gas pressure, please follow the manual as incorrect operation/mistakes of the measuring device can cause a decrease in gas pressure.
  • Gas replenishment and filling must be performed with the gas spring assembled on the robot.
  • Set the robot's H-axis (2 axes) posture to the origin of 90° and turn off the power to the controller.

Gas springs have the advantage of being lighter and requiring less replacement time than coil springs, but as they are devices that use high-pressure gas, natural leaks occur. Periodic inspection by the user is required to manage this.

Application ModelHS180/220, HH300,HS200L
Replacement M/H0.5 hours (depending on environment)
integrityPeriodic inspection. Twice a year (refer to manual)
caution
  • Problem that occurs when gas spring pressure drops: H-axis overload error occurs (robot stops)
    • Depends on the level of leakage. Depending on the load on the H axis, it may not occur even if the entire amount of leakage occurs.
    • Overcurrent warning occurs (H-axis warning needs to be checked)

How to check pressure

  • Apply pressure automatic detection function (Hi5a version MV40.17.00 or higher)

    • Warning occurs below 60 bar
    • Error occurs below 30 bar (robot stops)
    • Warning level can be manually set in T/P (details announced later)
  • Manual measurement using a pressure gauge (general pressure gauge: digital (PT118) recommended)

Please refer to the notice regarding maintenance precautions for the gas spring applied to the models supplied by our company.

target model

  • HS220 series : HS220, HS180, HS160L, HS210E
  • HH300 series : HH300, HS200L, HS260

Management method

Gas springs were adopted because they have the advantage of being lighter and easier to replace than coil springs, but as they are devices that use high-pressure gas, natural leaks may occur, so periodic inspection and replacement by the user is required. (Reference: Main unit manual 4-2)

Inspection is performed every 6 months, and gas charging or replacement is required if the pressure drops. (Reference for details: Chapter 9 of the main unit manual).

If leakage is left unattended, it may cause damage to the gas spring and drive system (motor/reducer). (Caution: If the pressure of the gas spring is lowered, depending on the load, there is a risk of the axis falling when the servo is turned off in the maximum radius position.)

What to do under pressure

  1. Above 100 bar: No or little leakage. Maintain or charge to 140 bar.
  2. Below 100 bar:
  • When gas charging is possible: If the pressure is maintained after charging, use it. If there is a rapid leak after charging, request gas spring replacement or repair. The lifespan of the gas spring is 3 to 4 years (20,000 hours), and periodic repair/replacement is recommended.
  • If there is no charger: Contact Hyundai Robotics A/S. (Gas charging and exchange)

Apply monitoring software

  • Provides a function to monitor the pressure of the gas spring for efficient management. (Applies to MV40.11 or higher, recommended MV40.17 or higher)
