Abstract

This chapter describes the development of a robotic CAM system for six-DOFs articulated industrial robot to generate online motion supported by cutter location source (CLS) data and numerical control (NC) data. The robotic CAM system realizes a practical data interface between industrial robots with open architecture controllers and commercially available CAD/CAM systems, and it includes functions that generate minute position and orientation components for real time motion control from CLS data and NC data without the need for teaching. The design principles of the developed robotic CAM system, and the experimental results on three real robots, RV1A, VS068, and FANUC R2000iC, are presented and demonstrated using both CLS and NC data generated through the developed CAM system.
