RESEARCH AND DESIGN CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR MANIPULATOR OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD SOLDERING ROBOT

Abstract

Printed Circuit Board soldering robots are now commonly used in PCB
assembly lines. One of the strict requirements of robot torch position control is:
precise control with low error, fast welding head movement speed to reduce
machining time. In this paper, we develop a method to control the welding robot
arm using stepper motors with magnetic field-oriented microstepping control
technology combined with optimal transmission between joints to improve
accuracy and efficiency of printed circuit welding. The effectiveness of the control
solution is demonstrated through the results of system simulation on
Matlab&Simulink software.
