The maximum instantaneous power consumption of robot drives determines the requirements for the energy supply system and the dimensions of the machine. For numerous machines, there are no technological restrictions on the types of applied motion laws and their numerical characteristics i.e. maximum speeds and accelerations. The type of the motion law and especially its parameters are traditionally determined according to the preferences of the design engineer without any justification, though some-times restrictions on maximum accelerations or speeds are considered. The restrictions on maximum accelerations are related to ensuring the strength and accuracy of the drive, and the restrictions on maximum speeds are related to the safety of personnel in the workplace. The motor power is selected according to the maximum value of the instantaneous power and thermal load, which depends on the duration of switching on. The article analyzes the ways of minimizing of this maximum (peak) of instantaneous power inside the cycle for different laws and different loads. The main parameter by which the maximum (peak) power is minimized for all types of laws is the acceleration and braking times. On the example of the most common motion laws, the dependence of instantaneous power and energy consumption on accelerating time and braking time for various types of loads are studied. In this article, the dependence of instantaneous power and energy consumption on accelerating time and braking time for various types of loads are studied on the example of the most common motion laws. The research results are intended to create a design technique for drives of modern equipment.
