Influence of Different Tooth Belt Transmission Faults on the Work of a Cartesian Robot

Faults, which occur during the work of industrial robots, have different natures and characteristics. They emerge due to the continued hard work of the control system and mechanical parts. Diagnosis of each fault type is an important task because preliminary faults detection precludes expensive equipment replacement. In this paper, the significance of timely break detection is highlighted. Also, the possibility of fault elimination is displayed. Transmission failures and diagnosis methods, which can be used for fault elimination, are presented. In this report, a description of the Hirata cartesian robot, its diagnosis system, and the parameters of the robot are declared. This article presents experiments with belt tension of tooth belt transmission installed in the Hirata cartesian robot.
