Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial robots, and in particular to a method for processing a wafer transfer robot arm shell. Background Art

[0002] In the field of industrial robots, the processing quality of the manipulator housing directly affects the equipment's motion accuracy, dynamic response characteristics, and service life. Traditional housing manufacturing technology generally faces three major technical bottlenecks: strength-toughness imbalance caused by grain coarsening during heat treatment of aluminum alloy materials; dimensional aging deformation caused by residual stress during multi-axis machining; and microcrack accumulation failure caused by tool-workpiece interaction during complex surface machining. Existing technical solutions have the following limitations: Heat treatment process: Conventional isothermal annealing or single-stage quenching processes cannot achieve the synergistic effect of grain boundary strengthening and dislocation control, resulting in a material hardness dispersion of ±20HV. Cryogenic treatment generally uses -80℃ liquid nitrogen immersion, which lacks a pressure control mechanism and has insufficient phase transformation strengthening efficiency. Stress relief technology: Mechanical vibration aging mostly uses single-frequency unidirectional excitation, and the harmonic response monitoring accuracy is ≤5Hz. It cannot effectively excite the high-order modes of high-rigidity shells, and the residual stress relief rate is only 60% to 70%; Precision machining: Traditional HSK toolholder systems experience radial runout >5μm at 25,000rpm. Roughing / finishing tool change strategies rely on empirical formulas, and cutting force fluctuations cause surface waviness. Trochoidal milling path planning lacks material removal rate feedback, and sudden changes in curvature lead to tool chatter with a probability >12%. Surface treatment technology: Conventional plasma cleaning uses constant power treatment, and the surface oxygen content fluctuates by ±3at%. The contact angle hysteresis caused by carbon contamination affects the bonding strength of subsequent coatings. Dimensional compensation system: Traditional PID control is not coupled with the multi-physical fields of the machining process, the compensation hysteresis period is greater than 60s, the thermal deformation compensation accuracy is less than 0.01mm, and the machining qualification rate of thin-walled structures is especially less than 85%. Summary of the Invention
