Finite Element Analysis and Design Optimisation of Welding robot base using ANSYS

Abstract

The study on Finite Element Analysis and Design Optimization of a welding robot base using ANSYS explores the crucial role of welding robots in enhancing industrial productivity and quality. It addresses the challenges of structural integrity, operational efficiency, and durability under harsh conditions. The research focuses on optimizing the robot base design to withstand high production demands, using ANSYS for detailed modelling and simulation. It reviews previous studies highlighting the importance of vibrational characteristics and structural dynamics in robot design. The methodology involves creating a geometric model, defining material properties, meshing, and applying boundary conditions and loading scenarios. The results indicate that the optimized design significantly improves stress distribution, reduces deformation, and enhances the dynamic response, making the robot base more robust and reliable. The study concludes with recommendations for broader applications in robotic systems to improve safety and productivity in industrial settings.
