Control and positioning of robotic arm on CNC cutting machines and their applications in industry

Abstract

The paper presents main challenges, problems, and steps involved in software implementation of robotic arm control. The arm is a multi axis robotic arm produced by 3rd party companies. It is embedded into a complex CNC cutting system with multiple motion axes and cutting heads. The control algorithm is implemented into existing complex software of real-time control system of the cutting machine. It has to be compatible with all existing and future modules of the software.
