AI Technical Summary
The XYZ axis movement of existing robots requires multiple motors and drag chains, which causes frequent back and forth movement of the motor wire, which can easily lead to breakage of the motor wire and cause the equipment to be paralyzed.
Using ball splines and synchronous belt transmission structure, XYZ is realized through components such as the first motor, the second motor, the third motor, the motor base connecting plate, the Y-axis fixed plate, the mobile plate, the straight groove ball spline shaft and the threaded gear. The movement of the shaft avoids the use of drag chains.
It reduces the motion inertia of the equipment, improves the running speed, saves space and costs, and does not need to calculate the length of the motor wire separately, avoiding the problem of breaking the motor wire.
