Spatial Positioning Accuracy Improving Robotic Grinding of Steel Pieces

Abstract

Robotic grinding and polishing of materials has its own specifics related to the requirements for constant pressing force maintaining, a movement trajectory and duration of processing. Constant contact force is needed to form a surface with desired roughness. Positioning with an industrial manipulator ensures precision accuracy of products achievement with lower processing time. Obtaining of the required characteristics is impossible without a high-quality calibration of pieces. The paper describes a precise pieces positioning method for grinding and polishing operations.
