Theoretical Analysis on Energy Consumption for Industrial Robots

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a theoretical analysis on energy consumption for industrial robots. In this project, the industrial robot used is a virtual robot resembling the FANUC LR Mate 200iB robotic arm. The first two joints consume the most electrical energy, this research focuses only on the first two joints. The calculation of the electrical energy consumed is based on a previous established research done by Herman (2009) from Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) in the year 2009. In this research, three different time intervals were used to set the speed of the robotic arm to be at 50%, 100% and 200% speed and they were tested on 10 different angles with 10 time intervals for the 1st and the 2nd robotic joints.
