This invention discloses a
robotic arm based on rotary
friction welding and its manufacturing method. The
robotic arm includes an arm body and a first
flange. The arm body has a tubular structure, and the first
flange is connected to the end of the arm body. The two are welded together by rotary
friction welding. This invention experimentally screened 6061-T6 aluminum
alloy or 7075-T6 aluminum
alloy as suitable materials for the
robotic arm. Through process debugging, rotary
friction welding process parameters that enable reliable
welding of the arm body and the first
flange were obtained. This effectively solves the technical problems of insufficient strength, low precision, large
welding deformation,
softening of weld joints, and poor production economy in the manufacturing and application of existing industrial robotic arms. By fully utilizing the material advantages of 6061-T6 aluminum
alloy or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, the invention significantly improves the structural strength, stiffness, and fatigue performance of the robotic arm while achieving lightweight design, ensuring dimensional and
assembly accuracy, and improving the
structural reliability and service life of the robotic arm.
