Abstract
Present in machining creates constantly new requirements to increase economic efficiency, productivity and product quality. With this advancement, industry is no longer focusing only on commonly used machining technologies, but is paying increasing attention to the implementation of robots in the manufacturing process by machining. The paper describes the design of equipment for the implementation of 5-axis milling with the help of a robot arm ABB IRB 140. It describes the design of the milling head and deals with the creation of NC machining program in software Autodesk Fusion 360. The generated NC program is then used in RoboDK to create a robotic arm control program. At the end of the paper are described laboratory tests of machining using the designed prototype milling head.
Highlights
Milling is still one of the most widely used cutting techniques in the world
The aim of the work was to point out the possibilities connected with the use of robotic arm for chip machining
The article describes the design of a fixture for attaching a milling device that serves as a motor to drive the milling tool
Summary
Milling is still one of the most widely used cutting techniques in the world. Classic milling is done in 3 axes. It is often used in industry to produce a wide variety of parts. If 5 axes are used, we are talking about multi-axis machining centres. By using these multi-axis centres, it is possible to produce simple and very complex components, such as worm gears, grooves in rotary or different shape profiles. Technological advances have been made to advance technology to ensure the shortest possible machining times with the most efficient production [1, 2]
