The Dynamic Simulation of Robotic Tool Changer Based on ADAMS and ANSYS

Abstract

Robotic tool changer can make robot complete a variety of tasks once enter the work environment. To predict and evaluate the performance of the device, the solid model is established through the software of UG, and multi-rigid body and rigid-flexible coupling dynamic simulation can be accomplished by using software ADAMS and ANSYS. At the same time, the stress and strain analysis of the flexible part is carried out to verify its strength. The simulation results provide a theoretical basis for further structural improvement and optimization of the robotic tool changer.
