Guidelines for qualification of SLS PA12 robot end-effector components released
1 reports · 1 sources
Robotics & Automation News has released a qualification guide for robot end-effector components printed with SLS PA12, emphasizing that loads and failure modes should be defined starting from the robot task rather than relying on material datasheets. The guide proposes a phased validation sequence, from low-speed no-load motion checks to representative workpiece grasping tests, and records wear and drift. It also recommends maintaining a list of critical functional dimensions, a spare-part replacement procedure, and a complete engineering brief for suppliers.
