Automation of Polishing Work by an Industrial Robot : System of Polishing Robot

Coordinate transformation of an industrial robot and its application in deterministic optical polishing

An IRB6620 industrial robot from ABB Co. Ltd. (Zurich, Switzerland) is used as a processing platform for optical processing, and computer-controlled optical surfacing is applied as a key technology. The function of each coordinate system of the robot in processing is reviewed, as well as the relationship of each coordinate system and coordinate transformation. An algorithm governing coordinate ...

Towards an Automated Polishing System - Capturing Manual Polishing Operations

Advancements in robotic and automation industries have influenced many manual manufacturing operations. With a great level of success, robots have taken over from man in many processes such as part manufacturing, transfer and assembly. However, in other traditionally manual operations such as polishing, automation has only partially been successful, typically limited to parts with simple geomet...

Performance Analysis of an Industrial Robot Under Uniform Temperature Change

The effect of temperature change on dynamic performances of an industrial robot with six axes of freedom is studied in this paper. In general, the strain and stress are produced not only by the external exciting force, but also by temperature change. The strain energy that is caused by temperatureThis paper describes how the temperature variation effects the dynamic performance of an indu...
