Utilizing energy-efficient components: Using energy-efficient components and motors in the robot''s design can significantly reduce energy consumption. This can include using low-energy servo motors or optimizing the robot''s pneumatic system to minimize energy waste.
For the main production line, the chosen solution is based on ABB''s IRB 4600 robot. This adaptable, 6-axis robot is optimized for short cycle times – 25 percent faster than the industry benchmark – and can help create high-density cells that deliver high throughputs in compact spaces.
If it becomes apparent in the design that a robot generates a particularly large amount of braking energy, an energy storage device can be considered directly. In order to implement this procedure, a robot cell with seven robots is investigated.
For energy storage, the conventional electrical energy storage in a battery or supercapacitor, can be replaced with chemical fuels, storage in mechanical mechanisms, or even direct harvesting from the environment, for example through turboelectric nano generators.
