TEACHING SYSTEM FOR METALLIC MOLD FINISHING ROBOT

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the manual or mechanical and automatic finishing efficiency by producing automatically an ideal action locus of a metallic finishing robot that finishes the most rough 'ridge' which is made by the locus of a machining tool locus of pre-machining in the most efficient way. CONSTITUTION:The route data on a machining tool that are always needed and supplied discretely are fetched through the back-up designing of a host computer. Then a new finishing tool locus is formed so that it is set orthogonal to the original data along the contour line of an object and defined as the data on the posture toward the machining face most appropriate to the finishing tool as well as the action route of a metallic mold finishing robot 1. The machining tool route data prepared for an example 4 of the metallic mold to be processed before machining is supplied to a computer device 5 from a host computer. Thus the data on the route and the posture of the finishing tool set at the hand of the robot 1 are produced as shown in the figure. The data are sent to a controller 3 of the robot 1 via an optional communication line 6.
