Abstract

The paper shows the possible ways of using existing laboratory equipment with the main goal to increase the quality of education and training of students in the work with the flexible cell. Problems were analyzed and goals were set especially in a way of mutual communication, necessary links and integration problems that were taken into consideration between CNC lathe and the robot system. Advantages and disadvantages of the proposed solution will be shown in a way of tightening, adjustments of robot fingers, connections between robot and CNC lathe control units and software solutions. The testing of proposed hardware has been done through the experimental part. According to accepted and realised hardware solution, the robot simulation was done first and it was followed by the testing and synchronisation of the overall system.
