A New Design of Circular Li-Ion Battery Sorting Equipment Based on High-Speed Robot

Abstract:

This paper mainly describes the development work of the Li-Ion battery sorting equipment based on the Delta-S parallel robot to satisfy the manufacturing requirements. The system functional requirements are analyzed to determine the general framework of the equipment. The parallel robot is detailed designed as the core part. The 3-4-5 times polynomial motion law is adopted to optimize the motion of Delta-S parallel robot. Additionally, the control system based on PLC assisted with motion control module is proposed to realize automation production. The experimental results show that this equipment can meet the needs for sorting efficiency of battery industry, and will have a significant effect on the application of original technology of parallel robot.
