Accelerated Life

In order to verify the reliability of drive components for industrial robots, component-level life tests must be accompanied by a system-level life test using actual robots in which predefined robot motions are repeated throughout the test. To properly verify the durability of drive components through a system-level life test, it is important to design test modes so that the required test time is the same for all joint drive components of the robot, and it is necessary to design test modes with a high acceleration factor so as to shorten the required test time as much as possible. To solve this problem, the present research proposes a method for designing robot motions that makes the accelerated life test time for all the drive components of the robot equal. In particular, we solve a dynamic based motion optimization problem for an industrial 6-DoF (degrees-of-freedom) robot that minimizes the AM-GM (arithmetic mean to geometric mean) ratio of the acceleration factors of each joint. The results show that C2-continuous test modes with the same acceleration factor, which is inversely proportional to the cycle time of the robot motion, can be derived.

Reliability of automotive parts has been one of the most interesting fields in the automotive industry. Especially small DC motor was issued because of the increasing adoption for passengers’ safety and convenience. For several years, small DC motors have been studied and some problems of a life test method were found out. The field condition was not considered enough in the old life test method. It also needed a lot of test time. For precise life estimation and accelerated life test, new life test procedure was developed based on measured field condition. First, vibration condition on vehicle and latent force on fan motor shaft were measured and correlated with each other. Second, test condition was decided by obtained data. Finally, life of fan motors was estimated by new life test method in shorter test time.

Sensitive Parameters

The safety factor of hydraulic piston pumps and motors shows a tendency to decrease due to high pressurization, high speed and low weight/volume realization to enhance the output density. Therefore, more effective test models are necessary to predict the exact life. The sensitive parameters in the endurance life test are speed, pressure and temperature, and failure production increases in proportion to the operating time. In this research, the authors propose a combined accelerated life test model using the analysis method of the combined accelerated life test results of piston-shoe assemblies by simultaneously applying high speed, high pressure and high temperature in accordance with the variation in speed, pressure and temperature in order to reduce the life test time.

This paper proposed a new life test method of pneumatic cylinders used in pneumatic system, whose loads consist of working pressure, piston velocity, and working temperature. It is expected to reduce accelerated life test time greatly in case of accelerated life test with creating combined accelerated model of these three factors. We can determine the maximum accelerated factor by calculating the combined accelerated factor of working pressure, piston velocity and working temperature for various cases.
