Manipulator Design and Optimization in Industrial Fiber Laser Machine

Abstract

Along with the progressive digitalization, the field of engineering support covered by computer programs is also increasing. In order to obtain the desired strength and stiffness values in the structural design, many parameters such as stress, elongation values, mass and stiffness without decreasing the values of stiffness and stiffness can be approximated by computer aided engineering programs. In this study, it is aimed to increase the rigidity of the fiber laser machine by means of topological optimization and to reduce the mass by determining the stresses and extensions under the working conditions by using the finite element program. After topological optimization, designs were compared and improvement was observed in the results.
