Robot 6-Axis/tr

Bu makale, standart 6 Eksenli endüstri robot simülasyonunu FreeCAD'e getirmekle ilgilidir.

John J. Craigs kitabında "Robotiğe Giriş" bölümünde de açıklandığı gibi Denavit-Hartenberg Parametre sistemini izlemektedir.

Kinematik
This leads to following table:

Since the Kuka robots do not have all axis to 0 in the drawn L-Position, we have to change axis 2 & 3 by 90°.

In the data sheet we find additional information about the axis:



That leads to this complete table:

Visual representation
FreeCAD can generate a rough visual out of the kinematic table. But if you want closer to reality you can use a VRML file with the robot shape for the simulation. E.g. Kuka delivers for its model VRML files. The VRML file gets loaded while the creation of the specific robot in FreeCAD. In order to allow FreeCAD to move the axis we have to edit the VRML file and insert special transformation nodes FreeCAD can find and manipulate.

Again shown by the example Kuka KR 16. Beginning from line 1:

# # #{ #} Transform {   #rotation 1 0 0 -1.5707963 #scale .001 .001 .001 children [           DEF AOBJ_0001_000_TRAFO Transform {              children [ ... You see this file is exported with a robot simulation software called Tecnomatix. Remove this notice and put in a URL where you get this file from, because Tecnomatix has no copyright in the file content. It's only a converter! First of all we remove the Background node. Then remove the rotation and scale node to get the model to mm and upright Z.

Comment out the TimeSensor and the 6 routes. This 6 lines give you a hint where the actual axis of the robot are! First search for "AXIS_04_OBJ" that brings you to that place: ...    Transform { rotation 1 0 0 1.570796 children [ DEF SENS_04_OBJ-0001 CylinderSensor {           diskAngle 1.570796 minAngle -3.228859 maxAngle 3.228859 offset   0.000000 }      DEF FREECAD_AXIS1 Transform { rotation 0 1 0 0 children [ DEF AXIS_04_OBJ-0001 Transform {        children [        Transform { rotation 1 0 0 -1.570796 children [ DEF AOBJ_0001_003_TRAFO Transform {              rotation 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 3.141593 translation -600.000000 500.000000 300.000000 children [ ... You have to insert exactly above the definition of this node the line "DEF FREECAD_AXIS1 Transform { rotation 0 1 0 0 children [" which is the anchor for FreeCAD to move the axis.

Now do the same for FREECAD_AXIS2,FREECAD_AXIS3,FREECAD_AXIS4,FREECAD_AXIS5 and FREECAD_AXIS6. Don't forget the closing brackets at the end of the file and you're done!

You can load the VRML by instantiating the robot: App.activeDocument.addObject("Robot::RobotObject","Robot") App.activeDocument.Robot.RobotVrmlFile = "C:/_Projekte/FreeCAD0.9_build/mod/Robot/Lib/Kuka/kr16.wrl" which should give you that result:
