The video titled "SolidWorks Tutorial # 310: Robotic arm (layout design, mate controller)" from the CAD CAM TUTORIAL BY MAHTABALAM channel teaches the design and simulation of a robotic arm in SolidWorks , focusing on two important parts: Layout Design (structural design) and Mate Controller (joint control).
Since I am unable to retrieve the video details and transcript, I will explain the main content according to the video title and the context of its use in SolidWorks.
Summary of the main content of the video: Design and control of the robotic arm.
This video focuses on creating a robotic arm model and simulating its movement systematically, and the main contents are divided as follows:
1. Part & Layout Design
Part Modeling: The instructor will demonstrate how to model different parts of the robotic arm, such as the Base, Links/Joints, and Gripper/End Effector.
Layout Design: Top-Down Design or Layout Sketch techniques may be used to pre-define the dimensions and range of motion of the entire robotic arm in the Assembly file before detailed part fabrication begins. This ensures that the robotic arm has the capability to reach the required workspace.
2. Assembly and Mates
Assembly: Assemble sub-parts into an Assembly file.
Using Mechanical Mates: Use advanced Mate commands (e.g. Concentric Mate, Coincident Mate ) and possibly use Limit Mate (Advanced Mate) to limit the rotation angle of each joint, similar to how a real robotic arm works.
3. Movement control with Mate Controller (main focus)
Mate Controller: This is a key function of the video. It is a tool used to control and record the positions of assembled parts, especially parts with joints (Mates) that are limited in angle or distance.
Simulation: The instructor will use the Mate Controller to define the "key positions" of the robotic arm (e.g., start, max lift, work position), then use the tool to play and record the continuous movement between these positions to create a smooth animation without the need for complex motion studies.
This video is therefore useful for those who want to learn how to design robotic systems or mechanisms with multiple axes of motion and want to create functional animations by precisely controlling the angles of various joints.
1. SolidWorks Mate Controller: Precisely control multi-axis robotic arm movement. Focus on the key tools used to control movement ( Mate Controller ) and the type of workpiece ( Robot Arm ).
2. SolidWorks Tutorial: Design Layout and Build Assembly for Industrial Robot Arm Focus on the design process , from layout design to assembly of robot parts.
3. SolidWorks Assembly Tutorial: How to Create a Robotic Arm Animation Using Mate Positions Focuses on how to create animations by defining and saving the angles of different joints in the Mate Controller.
