A robot grinding equipment and method for the surface of a rotating body

Abstract

The invention relates to equipment and a method suitable for grinding and polishing the surface of a revolving body. The equipment and method use a robot as an actuator for grinding. The equipment includes: a robot, a compliance device, a rotary pneumatic clamp, a horizontal grinder, and a clamp changing device. The steps of the grinding method are as follows: S1. The robot grabs one end of the revolving body (workpiece) through the rotary pneumatic clamp; S2. The robot fits the horizontal grinding machine according to the surface shape of the revolving body, and at the same time rotates through the rotary pneumatic clamp to grind the surface of the revolving body , and control the grinding contact force through the compliance device, and compensate the position error of the robot at the same time; S3. The robot places the revolving body on the clamp changing device, and after the clamp changing device is overturned, the other end of the revolving body is clamped by the rotary pneumatic clamp; S4 .Repeat step S2 to polish the remaining area on the surface of the rotating body. The revolving body grinding method provided by the invention is simple and practical, and can be used for surface grinding of revolving bodies such as metal water cups, cylindrical containers, barrel sections and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The patent of the present invention relates to a robot grinding equipment and method, in particular to a robot grinding equipment and method for rotating workpieces. Background technique [0002] In the production process of hardware such as metal water cups, grinding is an important process, and it is also a difficulty and pain point in the production of enterprises: first, the degree of automation of grinding is low and requires a lot of labor; second, grinding is harmful to human health. The labor cost is very high; thirdly, the technical requirements for the polishing personnel are high, and they need to be trained for a period of time before they can work. During the emergency period of production, it is difficult to temporarily expand the personnel to supplement the production capacity. [0003] The use of robots for automatic grinding of hardware is the development trend of industrial production now. It not only has high production efficiency, b...
