The Accuracy of the Plastic Parts Milling Process Executed by a Six Axes Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to analyze the precision of plastic parts made by using robot milling. Currently, the robots have good precision, rigidity, flexibility and they are able to machine parts. By using a six axis Kuka robot and an electric spindle, a plastic part was milled. The paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of this new technology, analyzing the dimensional accuracy, surface quality and costs.
