Abstract

Robotic machining systems play an important role in modern manufacturing. The paper proposes the application of virtual robots for off-line programming. The reconfigurable machining robot, programmed in G-code, which can be directly used by CNC machine tool programmers and operators, is presented. The subject of study are 5- and 6-DOF vertical articulated robots that can be configured to emulate vertical and horizontal 5-axis spindle tilting machine tools. The considered machining systems are supported by equivalent virtual robots in the CAD/CAM environment and control system. Several test workpieces were machined to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture.
