Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of manipulators, in particular to a truss manipulator. Background Art

[0002] The rear axle is a critical load-bearing component of a vehicle, carrying more than half of the vehicle's total mass and crucial to its reliability and safety. Therefore, welding the rear axle to its two end axle ends is crucial. This process is typically performed using a double-ended friction welder. During this continuous welding process, the rear axle and axle require continuous loading, currently performed using an electromagnet-type adsorption robot.

[0003] Electromagnetic adsorption manipulators utilize electromagnets at their base to secure the rear axle workpiece to the workpiece. However, relying solely on electromagnets for adsorption is less secure. If power is lost at one end, the electromagnet loses its ability to hold the workpiece, causing it to fall, potentially causing a serious safety incident.

[0004] Therefore, the research purpose of this utility model is to design a truss manipulator that can improve the stability of the rear axle workpiece connection and ensure the safety of loading. Utility Model Content
