Aiming at tedious work and low production efficiency in process of wearing shoelaces during shoe production,a new 4-dof industrial manipulator was designed; The structure and working methods of wearing shoelaces manipulator was introduced; The working precision of manipulator was explored based on the theory of static stiffness; The model of wearing shoelaces manipulator was built based on SolidWorks software. The unreasonable mechanism of manipulator was optimized when imported into ANSYS software to be analyzed. The results show that optimized manipulator static stiffness is increased,elastic deformation is decreased,weight is reduced,work precision is improved,movement becomes more flexible,and the overall mechanical properties are improved significantly.
