What Are the Key Features of a Hollow Rotating Platform?

The hollow rotating platform has the characteristics of high precision, high stability and strong flexibility, and can realize multi-dimensional accurate motion control through motor drive to realize angle adjustment automation, so as to achieve production efficiency, reduce costs and improve product quality.

 

In practical application, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific working conditions, the number of stations, the diameter of the turntable, the speed, the load and other factors to choose the appropriate hollow rotating platform model, it should be noted that different series of hollow rotating platform reducers use different support bearings, which has a certain impact on the bearable moment of inertia load of the hollow rotating platform, generally speaking, the larger the model, the greater the moment of inertia that can be beared, but the corresponding change in the moment of inertia load will be smaller.

How to Select the Right Hollow Rotating Platform?

In the hollow rotating platform selection, need to consider a number of parameters, so how to choose the hollow rotating platform, first confirm the diameter of the turntable, that is, the working face, speed and disk load, etc., according to these parameters, we can preliminarily screen out the appropriate model, and calculate the required torque, inertia, speed ratio and matching motor power and other parameters, accuracy error, at the same time, but also consider whether the reserved safety factor meets the use requirements.

 

The option calculation formula of the hollow rotating platform is mainly calculated according to the required torque T, which is the addition of the load torque caused by friction impedance and the acceleration torque caused by the moment of inertia, and multiplied by a certain safety factor, and the specific calculation formula is: T = (load torque [N.m]) x safety factor.

 

The robot is an important application field of the hollow rotary platform, which can be used as a joint of the robot to realize the multi-axis motion control and precise positioning of the robot end effector, so as to complete more complex tasks, such as high-precision assembly, welding, etc.

 

Advantages of Using Hollow Rotating Platforms

The application advantages of the hollow rotating platform have the following four points:

1. Compact structure: hollow structure bearings are used to make the whole equipment compact. It has a small footprint and is suitable for applications where space is limited.

2. Precise positioning: The use of precision control system and high-precision servo motor can achieve high positioning repeatability and accuracy.

3. Multi-axis movement: It can realize multi-axis movement, including horizontal rotation, tilt rotation and vertical rotation.

4. High bearing capacity: The heavy-duty hollow rotating platform is suitable for application scenarios that need to carry heavy loads and precise control, and can achieve large loads without obvious deformation and vibration.

 

The application of the hollow rotating platform in the robot system can effectively improve the flexibility and accuracy of the robot's movement, and by using the precision hollow rotating platform of different sizes and bearing capacity, a variety of different models and sizes of robots can be realized, which is very useful for robots that need to carry out visual monitoring and data collection, such as shooting robots or patrol robots.
