Robots in machining

Abstract

Robotic machining centers offer diverse advantages: large operation reach with large reorientation capability, and a low cost, to name a few. Many challenges have slowed down the adoption or sometimes inhibited the use of robots for machining tasks. This paper deals with the current usage and status of robots in machining, as well as the necessary modelling and identification for enabling optimization, process planning and process control. Recent research addressing deburring, milling, incremental forming, polishing or thin wall machining is presented. We discuss various processes in which robots need to deal with significant process forces while fulfilling their machining task.

Development of a new method for automated selection of robotic mechanic-assembly technologies based on the technical and economic criteria

“…This method is accepted for research as the one, the parameters of which can be calculated by the data of the problems that are solved here. the product of residual value RV of the IR at the beginning of the reporting year or the initial cost of PC on the date of the beginning to calculate depreciation and the annual depreciation norm Н а from expressions (10), (11).…”

“…The key points of the content of paper [10] are to highlight the issues related to use of the IR in metalwork technologies. Technological functions performed by the IT are considered, the necessity to perform certain optimization calculations of IR functioning is emphasized, etc.…”

“…As a fact, in problem-oriented papers [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], the choice of technologies, including the RMAT, remains beyond the attention of researchers. Thus, all the analyzed information sources have unresolved problems concerning efficiency of using the IR under modern automated industries of machineand tool building.…”

Membrane computing models and robot controller design, current results and challenges

“…Robots and robotics technology are involved in a large number of market domains [29]: manufacturing domain, healthcare, agriculture domain, civil, commercial, transport and logistics, and consumer, and consequentlty the applications are extremely diverse, e.g., machining [32], window cleaning [31], robotic surgery [31], human-robot interaction [6], etc.…”

Development of Control System for Dual NC Machine with Single 6-Axis Robot

“…Robotic machining one of the solutions for many types of level in precision cutting industry such as lathe, milling. The architecture for this development consist of various controller [13]. By developed an automation system it can increase the production output rate.…”
