Truss manipulator is a kind of automatic assembly equipment with high flexibility and programmability. It consists of a support structure, joint mechanism and operating system, and can perform a variety of assembly operations, including parts picking, positioning, assembly, grinding, welding, etc. Compared with traditional assembly methods, truss manipulators have many advantages.

First, the truss manipulator is highly flexible. It can be programmed to change the working attitude and path to adapt to different assembly requirements. However, the traditional assembly method requires manual operation and is limited by people's physical ability and technical level, so it cannot flexibly cope with various assembly tasks. The flexibility of the truss manipulator makes it suitable for a variety of assembly jobs and can be quickly adjusted as needed.

Secondly, the truss manipulator has high precision assembly capability. Through the use of sensors and control systems, it can sense and control parameters such as position, force and speed during assembly in real time. This allows the truss manipulator to accurately position and handle the parts, ensuring the accuracy and quality of the assembly. In contrast, manual assembly is prone to errors, and there are certain restrictions on the assembly of precision components.

Third, truss manipulators can improve assembly efficiency. It can automatically perform assembly tasks without human intervention and can work continuously for 24 hours. Truss manipulators typically work faster than manual assemblies and can maintain consistent quality of work. In addition, the truss manipulator can handle multiple assembly tasks at the same time, improving production efficiency. In contrast, the efficiency of manual assembly is limited by the physical strength and speed of the worker.

Fourth, truss manipulators can improve the safety of the working environment. It can undertake repetitive, dangerous and cumbersome assembly tasks, reducing workers' exposure to hazardous substances and dangerous equipment. In addition, the truss manipulator can also protect the safety of workers by using sensors and vision systems to detect and avoid dangerous situations during assembly. In contrast, manual assembly is prone to industrial injuries and accidents.

Fifth, truss manipulators can improve the consistency and traceability of assembly operations. It can perform assembly tasks according to pre-programmed procedures, ensuring that each assembly is of the same quality and standard. In addition, the truss manipulator can record and store data and information during the assembly process, which is convenient for later traceability and analysis. In contrast, artificial assembly has the influence of human factors, and the quality and consistency are difficult to guarantee.

To sum up, truss manipulators have many advantages in assembly operations. It has high flexibility, high precision, high efficiency, high safety and high consistency, which can improve assembly quality and production efficiency. With the progress of science and technology and the development of manipulators, truss manipulators will play an increasingly important role in assembly operations in various industries.
