An Off-Line Programming System for the Robotic Cutting of Complex Shape Parts with Exact Mathematical Model

摘要

This paper presents a dedicated off-line programming system for robotic cutting in pipe processing based on Visual Studio 2010 and OpenGL. The off-line programming system can calculate the space trajectory and generate the programs for a 6-DOF industrial robot automatically. It has a convenient and friendly interactive interface, and the process of cutting can be seen intuitively. Robot programs generated by using the developed system have been tested on a robotic cutting system, and the experimental results are provided, which demonstrate the practicability of the off-line programming system.
