Abstract:
The paper described the design of the robotic mass measurement system. The dedicated device was the upgrade of the existing balance, which the measuring range is (1~ 220) g. Measurement process and auxiliary devices for the control were introduced. The electric slider make one-dimensional motions, and the robot arm was constructed by some series electric cylinder module combined in sequence, so robot arm can make a three- dimensional moving. The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) was programmed to control the Robot Arm and Electric hands to pick, move, and place the weight, one weight at a time. The device programmed can measure the weight or make ABBA type compare automatically without human participation.
