Abstract

Pneumatic bellows actuators are exceptionally suitable for Additive Manufacturing (AM) as the required geometrical complexity can easily be obtained and their functionality is not affected by rough surfaces and small dimensional accuracy. This paper is an extended version of a previously published contribution to the RoboSoft2018 conference in Livorno, Italy. The original paper (Dämmer et al., 2018) contains a simulation-driven design approach as well as experimental investigations of the structural and fatigue behavior of pneumatic multi-material PolyJet™ bellows actuators. This extended version is enhanced with investigations on the relaxation behavior of PolyJet bellows actuators. The presented results are useful for researchers and engineers considering the application of PolyJet bellows actuators for pneumatic robots.

摘要

气动波纹管执行器特别适合增材制造（AM），因为所需的几何复杂性很容易实现，并且其功能不受粗糙表面和小尺寸精度的影响。本文是先前发表于意大利里窝那举行的RoboSoft2018会议的一篇论文的扩展版本。原文（Dämmer等人，2018年）包含一种模拟驱动的设计方法以及对气动多材料PolyJet™波纹管执行器的结构和疲劳行为的实验研究。这个扩展版本增加了对PolyJet波纹管执行器松弛行为的研究。所呈现的结果对考虑将PolyJet波纹管执行器应用于气动机器人的研究人员和工程师很有用。
