Background
The zero gravity manipulator is also called a power-assisted manipulator, and is novel power-assisted equipment which is used for saving labor in material carrying and installation. The balance principle of force is skillfully applied, so that an operator can correspondingly push and pull the weight, and balance, move and position in space. When the weight is lifted or lowered, a floating state is formed, and zero operating force (the operating force takes less than 3kg as a judgment standard in the actual situation because of the control of the processing technology and the design cost) is ensured by the gas path, so that the operating force is influenced by the weight of the workpiece. The weight can be correctly placed at any position in the space by pushing and pulling the weight by an operator without skilled inching operation, and the device is widely applied to occasions such as material transfer, high-frequency carrying, accurate positioning, component assembly and the like in the modern industry.
Through fatigue test, the service life of the parts can be known, and for some parts with short service life, the design scheme is changed or the materials are changed; according to the fatigue test result, after-sales service can maintain or replace certain parts regularly, so that the fatigue test of the zero gravity manipulator is necessary. At present, people can hold the handle to complete the set of actions and can also perform fatigue test, but the time and the energy are wasted; the fatigue test can also be completed by a linear module, a servo motor and a set of control system, but the cost is relatively high.
