We are seeing more and more robots being used for machining and cutting applications than ever before. Industry experts predict this trend will increase exponentially as manufacturers realise the importance of how cost effective and beneficial Robots can be for the success of their business in the future. Industrial Robots were never designed to be used for CNC machining processes. As a rule Robots are not as accurate as CNC Machines however their disadvantage in accuracy is balanced by their flexibility and large comparative working envelope. There is of course a cost saving which is making Robots more and more attractive when compared to CNC equivalents. Traditionally on CNC Machines If the parts are large, they are split into multiple pieces that fit on the machines and reassembled after cutting. Alternatively, shops will remove machine panels and doors to mount the portion of the work piece that needs cutting on the machine, while the rest of the part hangs out or over the sides. Robotic machining cells can work on whole parts in single setups because the cells do not have exactly defined work areas as CNC machines do. Parts can rest on a shop floor or they can be clamped to workholding tables and as long as the setup is within the robot's reach, they can be machined. This working envelope can be extended by using external Axis rotary tables, and in some instances, the robot's reach can extend to 25m using a robot on a linear track. The current ideal application for a robotic machining cell is one that involves large, complex parts to be machined using 4- or 5-axis toolpaths from offline CADCAM software . Materials best suited for this are objects that are made of soft materials such as EPS Foam, plastics, fibreglass, carbon-fibre composites and prototyping resin board. When it comes to machining metals, there are two factors that hold back most robots: accuracy and torque. Today's robots, on average, are accurate to about 0.1mm. Although most metal parts require precision machining, there are applications in which robot accuracy is acceptable, such as rough machining parts to prepare them for finish cutting on CNC machine tools. We would not recommend using robots for machining metal if a good surface finish is required. However trimming and de-burring applications easily achieve good results.
It is not uncommon for a Robot with an integrated Rotary turntable to machine a 2x2x2m block of material
CADCAM
With recent advancements in CAM software it is now possible to control robot movements with complete confidence. Software packages can accurately simulate every aspect of the machining process and warn of any collisions, singularities, axis limits so that the user knows before even turning the robot on whether the part will be cut successfully or not. Because the toolpath is fully simulated offline there is infinite ways of changing and adjusting your work to suit time critical projects while the robot is currently performing a different machining operation. The processes can be fully automated to incorporate toolchange routines and even automatic tool calibration. It should also be noted that some CAD-CAM programs can run to many thousands of lines depending on the resolution used. This is because when it comes to curves the CAD-CAM software will usually split the curve into many short linear movements. This in turn can mean that there is a lot of program data to be fed into the robot. In these cases we recommend an ABB S4C controller (or later) fitted with an Ethernet board. This allows the connection of a PC to "drip feed" programs into the controller essentially allowing infinite program size.
Although Robot manufacturers are all pretty much similar in their products and capabilities, we recommend ABB robots for their robust construction and ease of use. (Plus we have a large sock of them) Here at CNC Robotics have sourced as much info as possible to help our customers understand the difference between Robotic Machining and CNC's so they can make an informed decision on whether this application is right for their business.
