Development of the robot system for the process improvement of the castings of the runner and gate cutting

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a robotic system for the automatic cutting of castings for gas turbine runner and gate. It requires a lot of time and effort of the cutting operating by the operator because of this product materials are tough and compact. In order to overcome this difficulty, we propose a robotic system that can automatically identify and respond to the condition of the product and replacing the cutting tools. We verify the practicality of the proposed robotic system is applied to the actual cutting and grinding operations.
