Impact of Robot Programming Methods on Servo Drive Temperature

There are various motion commands used for programming ABB Industrial Robot & each command is used for a specific application. Also, there are various parameters in the motion command such as Velocity & Zone Error. Setting different values normally alters the Robot performance and eventually the servo drive temperature. This paper has made a case study on the temperature of Servo Drive with respect to the Programming Method. Programming is done using different move commands, Velocity values & Zone Error values to move the Robot End Effector between two fixed locations. The impact of these parameters on the temperature rise of Servo Drive is analyzed. Valid results are arrived using Taguchi L9 Orthogonal array. The optimal results obtained from the Taguchi analysis is checked with the real ABB Robot available at Robotics lab of VSVN Polytechnic College Key Words: ABB Robot RAPID Program – Velocity Data – Zone Error Data – Taguchi L9 Orthogonal Array.
