Virtual prototyping and programming of a robotic manufacturing cell for wood machining
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents the virtual prototyping and simulation of a robotic manufacturing cell for machining wood panel doors. The machining task is focused towards performing milling and drilling operations for hinge slots and door lock cavity. First, based on a study regarding the state of the art in this field, the most efficient structure of the flexible manufacturing cell was chosen. Thus, the cell included a roller conveyor which provides input and output to the cell, a gantry robot for door handling, a three axis workpiece positioner and an articulated arm robot equipped with self-driven tools and tool changer for machining operations. The layout of the application was then modeled as a 2D top view of the robotic cell. The 3D virtual model of the entire application was then developed using Catia V5 software. Validation for the layout of the cell, robot integration and system functionality were performed through kinematic modeling in Catia’s DMU Kinematics module. In the final stage of the project, the structure of the required programming for the flexible manufacturing cell was developed, showing the logical structure and signal configuration of the application. The signals were correlated with application events, ensuring communication between the various cell components.
