Validation of forward geometric models for ABB robots using virtual models and the software applications CATIA and ABB Robot Studio

Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 4

Abstract

This paper presents the working steps for the validation of the forward geometric models of ABB industrial robots (IR) using their virtual models (CAD models) along with CATIA and ABB RobotStudio software applications. Applying this method, one can obtain on the basis of the virtual model a series of results regarding the position of the characteristic point of the robot according to joint positions, results that can be compared with the results of the mathematical model analytically calculated for different configurations. By comparing these results, one can determine the correctness of the forward geometric models.
