Experiments on rhombic carbide inserts demonstrated a positioning precision of ≈6 μm, one order of magnitude better than the robot's nominal repeatability. The measured maximum wear width (VB<sub>max</sub>) follows reference profilometry across cutting length from 50 m to 1400 m, with standard deviations between 4.5 and 1.6 μm.
