Robotic Milling: A New Era of Machining

Abstract

Abstract-Robotic milling is considered as an alternative solution of CNC milling, however there are significant difference between these two processes. CNC milling technologies enabled new possibilities in constructing complex digitally generates architectural shapes but have restricted working area and produce shape limitation. Industrial robot are an appropriate technology for developing flexible and reconfigurable, manufacturing systems. Which contribute to perform various automated operation such as milling, cutting, drilling , grinding, surface finishing etc. the work presented in this paper tackles some specific aspects regarding the cam techniques used for robotic milling to overcome the shape and size limitation of CNC In this paper we provide some comparative study about how changing the various parameter leads to change in functioning of robot to obtain good surface finish and to enhance the accuracy and repeatability of robotic milling. This document is designed to provide nowadays technology, future potential and technical constraints about the robotic milling and its advantages.
