Stiffness Analysis of a Novel Hybrid Manipulator for Mould Repairing Based on ANSYS

Article Preview

Abstract:

The finite element model of a novel 5-dof mould repairing hybrid machine tool is modeled by using the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL), and the static stiffness of the whole machine and the sensitivity are analyzed. With the help of APDL and the concept of substructure integration, the fast reconstruction strategy to establish the finite element model is put forward. Then, the implementation strategy aimed to analyze the static stiffness of the whole machine and optimize the hinge structure are proposed. Then through the data statistics and the sensitivity analysis, the influence tendency of key flexible components affecting the static stiffness of the system are identified, which provides the guidance for parameter design of this prototype machine.
