The inner workings of the Motoman SV3X

While some robots can only per­form weld­ing or han­dling appli­ca­tions, some robots can do both. The Motoman SV3X is one of those robots. The SV3X has a wide work enve­lope and can per­form assem­bly, pack­ag­ing and arc weld­ing, along with oth­er appli­ca­tions. But, what is going on inside the SV-3X? What makes it run? While the parts may be com­plex, the answers are sim­ple – the tim­ing belts, the speed reduc­ers and the inter­nal wiring all work to help the SV3X function.

The tim­ing belts found on the R and B axes of the SV 3X, part num­bers 050S4.5M198 and 050S4.5M315, are used to syn­chro­nize the move­ment of the robot motors so that on piece is not try­ing to move against the oth­er. These belts play an impor­tant role in the flu­id­i­ty of the robot’s motion.

Anoth­er inte­gral part of the SV/3X’s move­ment are the speed reduc­ers that are found on all six joints: S‑axis, HW9381283‑A; L‑axis, HW9381284‑A; the U‑axis, HW9381285‑A; the R‑axis, HW9381225‑A; and the T‑axis, HW9381227‑A. The speed reduc­ers slow the out­put from the ser­vo­mo­tors to con­serve ener­gy and redi­rect it to oth­er parts of the robot where it is needed.

The final crit­i­cal pieces to the SV3X​’s oper­a­tion are the inter­nal wiring that is found on the S‑, L- and U‑axes – part num­bers HW9171589‑A, HW9271096‑A and HW9270889‑A. This wiring not only directs the pow­er from the pow­er sup­ply to the robot, but also directs pro­gram­ming infor­ma­tion from the robot con­troller to the Motoman SV-3X to help it func­tion properly.
