Abstract Industrial robots, as mature and high-efficient equipment, have been applied to various fields, such as vehicle manufacturing, product packaging, painting, welding, and medical surgery. Most industrial robots are only operating in their own workspace, in other words, they are floor-mounted at the fixed locations. Just some industrial robots are wall-mounted on one linear rail based on the applications. Sometimes, industrial robots are ceiling-mounted on an X-Y gantry to perform upside-down manipulation tasks. The main objective of this paper is to describe the NeXus, a custom robotic system that has been designed for precision microsystem integration tasks with such a gantry. The system tasks include assembly, bonding, and 3D printing of sensor arrays, solar cells, and microrobotic prototypes. The NeXus consists of a custom designed frame, providing structural rigidity, a large overhead X-Y gantry carrying a 6 degrees of freedom industrial robot, and several other precision positioners and processes. We focus here on the design and precision evaluation of the overhead ceiling-mounted industrial robot of NeXus and its supporting frame. We first simulated the behavior of the frame using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), then experimentally evaluated the pose repeatability of the robot end-effector using three different types of sensors. Results verify that the performance objectives of the design are achieved.

Precision Evaluation

For power module, the reliability evaluation of thermal fatigue life by power cycling has been prioritized as an important concern. Since in power cycling produces there exists non-uniform temperature distribution in the power module, coupled thermal-structure analysis is required to evaluate thermal fatigue mechanism. The thermal expansion difference between a Si chip and a substrate causes thermal fatigue. In this study, thermal fatigue life of solder joints on power module was evaluated. The finite element method (FEM) was used to evaluate temperature distribution induced by joule heating. Higher temperature appears below the Al wire because the electric current flows through the bonding Al wire. Coupled thermal-structure analysis is also required to evaluate the inelastic strain distribution. The damage of each part of solder joint can be calculated from equivalent inelastic strain range and crack propagation was simulated by deleting damaged elements step by step. The initial cracks were caused below the bonding Al wire and propagated concentrically under power cycling. There is the difference from environmental thermal cycling where the crack initiated at the edge of solder layer. In addition, in order to accurately evaluate the thermal fatigue life, the factors affecting the thermal fatigue life of solder joint where verified using coupled electrical-thermal-structural analysis. Then, the relation between the thermal fatigue life of solder joint and each factor is clarified. The precision evaluation for the thermal fatigue life of power module is improved.

The sudden short-circuit is considered the gold-standard parameter measurement method for wound-field synchronous machines (WFSMs) as it enables the recording of the characteristic quantities in near-to-real conditions. However, the test needs huge pieces of equipment, but even worse, it reduces the lifetime of the electrical components by up to 10 years due to the high winding overhang mechanical forces. The DC-Decay tests are low-power alternatives to obtain the characteristic quantities without damaging the machinery. To allow wider use of this method, there are a couple of challenges left that are tackled by this paper. The two main open challenges are, firstly, the number of measurements needed to reach a particular precision, and secondly, a comparison of the DC-Decay with the sudden short-circuit test to allow the validation against the gold standard. More detailed, this paper explores the main challenges associated with the practical use of the DC decay method, which is a non-conventional and detailed-level approach to characterize WFSMs. We provide replies and recommendations regarding the number of measurements, suggesting the minimum number of recorded tests needed to obtain the equivalent diagram with a given accuracy, which has been further validated with an experimental case study. Moreover, the potential enhancement and precision of the parameter identification algorithm are studied in detail. Finally, the equivalent parameters of the DC decay method are compared to the gold standard, which concludes on what the characterization means in terms of predicting accurate transient short-circuit currents for WFSMs.
