Figure 2-10. Moment of Inertia Calculation Examples
Calculation example : When calculating the
moment of inertia of a complicated shape, divide it into
simple parts as much as possible for easier calculations.
As shown in the figure below, divide the end-effector into three parts ( ,
,
).

(2) Moment of inertia around J4 and J5
For the end-effector shown below, the moment of
inertia around J4 and J5 can be calculated according
to the same formula.
