Abstract

Industrial robots are increasing being applied in production situations of small quantity or single run units. These applications are characterized by a large product variety hence production flexibility is one of the most important requirements for new robot applications. In these applications, the robot must be seen as a single component of a flexible automation system, the robot-based flexible manufacturing work cell. Due to the numerous possible configurations in factories it is necessary to develop application specific modular manufacturing work cells by the usage of different components. Nevertheless it is the goal to standardize the work cell internal information structure, which permits the utilization of standardized control structures. The control components must be adaptable to different work cell configurations. In this paper the universal controller system LUCAS for robot-based flexible manufacturing work cells is described. For verification of the underlying control concepts some example applications in flexible assembly and flexible machining are shown. In addition, prospects for further developments are presented.<>

通用工作单元控制器在柔性制造中的应用经验

工业机器人越来越多地应用于小批量或单机生产场合。这些应用的特点是产品种类繁多，因此生产灵活性是新机器人应用的最重要要求之一。在这些应用中，机器人必须被视为柔性自动化系统的单个组成部分，即基于机器人的柔性制造工作单元。由于工厂中有许多可能的配置，因此有必要通过使用不同的组件来开发特定于应用程序的模块化制造工作单元。然而，标准化工作单元内部信息结构是我们的目标，它允许使用标准化的控制结构。控制组件必须适应不同的工作单元配置。介绍了基于机器人的柔性制造工作单元通用控制器系统LUCAS。为了验证基本的控制概念，给出了一些在柔性装配和柔性加工中的应用实例。此外，对未来的发展进行了展望。
