CASE STUDY STRESS & DEFLECTION ANALYSIS OF AN EXISTING ROBOT MOUNT WRITTEN BY NEIL KAMINARINTRODUCTION Study on an existing robot mount - stress and deflec - tion analysis - to determine if a robot mounted horizon - tally on a stand would fail or deflect excessively. PROBLEM STATEMENT • What is the stress and deflection? • Robot weight: 510 pounds • End effector weight: 41 pounds • Moment loads at mounting plate X direction and Z direction • Weight adds shear at holes • Main concern is pullout of bolts • Deflection of end effector at bell housing ANALYSIS An overall orientation picture (a) showsthe cell and the relationship to the different parts. We see in this image the breakout of the parts of concern, making the prob - lem statement more clear.
