Abstract
As manufacturing demands shift towards enhanced part geometries and materials, the need for flexibility in production has driven interest in robotic machining. This fast-growing technology offers advantages like cost-effectiveness, adaptability, and easy deployment, making it suitable for agile production lines. However, robotic machining encounters accuracy challenges due to inherent robot flexibility, causing deviations and vibrations.
The positioning error along a robotic machining trajectory is composed of two contributions: the steady-state error and the transient. This research addresses these challenges through compensation methods based on a robotic cell equipped with a Stäubli TX200 and its digital shadow. By proposing trajectory corrections based on the results from virtual machining simulator including the robot dynamical model, the study aims to compensate the static and dynamic deviations, responsible for steady-state and transient errors respectively. To achieve this, the trajectory is discretised in elementary sections, modelled with Hermite splines and connected by nodes that are iteratively repositioned in space based on the error estimated from the dynamics simulation and weighted along the tool path.
Simulations and experiments are carried out in Aluminium 6082 to demonstrate the gain of iterative compensation algorithm. The error reduction encountered in simulation is successfully confirmed in experimental cases, within the repeatability tolerance of the robot, decreasing the steady-state error by 90% and about 60% in transient phases.
期刊介绍:
The journal, Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, focuses on sharing research applications that contribute to the development of new or enhanced robotics, manufacturing technologies, and innovative manufacturing strategies that are relevant to industry. Papers that combine theory and experimental validation are preferred, while review papers on current robotics and manufacturing issues are also considered. However, papers on traditional machining processes, modeling and simulation, supply chain management, and resource optimization are generally not within the scope of the journal, as there are more appropriate journals for these topics. Similarly, papers that are overly theoretical or mathematical will be directed to other suitable journals. The journal welcomes original papers in areas such as industrial robotics, human-robot collaboration in manufacturing, cloud-based manufacturing, cyber-physical production systems, big data analytics in manufacturing, smart mechatronics, machine learning, adaptive and sustainable manufacturing, and other fields involving unique manufacturing technologies.
