Performance test of large telescopic robot for LCD glass handling

Abstract

Process in LCD (liquid crystal display) industries has been very rapid and their manufacturing lines require the robots which can handle large LCD glasses and load more LCD glasses into cassette. In order to develop a robot satisfying these demands and verify the design of the concept robot for LCD glass-handling, a prototype robot has been constructed and its performance test has been implemented. The positioning repeatability, fork static deflection and moving speed are tested. The tested results agree with the design well.
