Description
Summary:Flexible automation robotic systems and offline programming methods have recently received much attention. Studies the problem of robot automarking and autocutting of shipbuilding panels, using an integrated computer aided designmanufacturing CADCAM system based on computer technology and offline programming of the robot. The following three points are focused on in this paper marking and cutting information of the panels CAD model measurement of the panels deformation and its compensation algorithm robot automaking and autocutting of the panel using the CAM system. Robot automarking and autocutting of shipbuilding panels solves the difficulty associated with panel marking and cutting by hand. Furthermore this system possesses high processing precision and automatically compensates for the deformation of the panel. Our experiments prove the feasibility and efficiency of this system at the end of this paper.
