Abstract

The general purposed control system for driving a motion of many different typed robot end-effector, which consists of a controller based on ARM Cotex M3-11017 MCU and an application software for generating a motion of end-effector, was developed. Experimental results show that a positioning error is nearly negligible and a repeatability error is 0.04%. Accordingly the developed control system can be applied practically to actuate a robot end-effector for inspection and maintenance of steam generator heat pipe in nuclear power plant.

여러 종류의 증기발생기 검사정비 로봇의 엔드이펙터 모션 구동에 전부 사용할 수 있도록 ARM Cotex M3-107 MCU 기반의 제어기와 엔드이펙터 모션 프로그램 생성 응용소프트웨어로 구성된 범용 엔드이펙터 모션구동 제어시스템을 개발하였다. 범용 제어시스템을 적용하여 엔드이펙터의 직선이송 및 회전이송의 위치 결정의 오차는 무시할만한 수준이며, 재현성은 0.04% 오차를 보여줌으로써 실제로 사용 가능한 범용 엔드이펙터 모션구동 제어시스템을 개발하였다.
