Research on Machining Prototypes Using an Industrial Robot

The influence of vibrations on the quality of the processed surface is an important problem applying an industrial robot for machining prototypes. The intrinsic frequency of individual pieces of the robot may cause resonance due to vibration that appear in the machining process. The conducted experiment has investigated the activity of vibration along the process of milling wood, polypropylene and extruded polystyrene in the three-axe system. According to the influence of induced vibrations in the cutting process and considering surface roughness, feed rates for cutting taking into account every material have been chosen.Article in Lithuanian
