Experimental Analysis for the Enhancement of Industrial Robot Tool Path Planning

Industrial robots play a key role in modern manufacturing processes, contributing to increased efficiency, precision and productivity. However, the dynamic nature of robotic movements can cause vibrations that may impact performance and product quality. In this study, experimental analysis for the enhancement of the industrial robot tool path planning is implemented to get the initial knowledge of less robust robot configuration. To demonstrate the effect of different robotic configurations of the RoboDK path generation software, a Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP industrial robot with an acceleration measurement setup was used to analyse the smoothness of the robot path. The information obtained is presented in the time and frequency domains and highlights key points such as mean square error and main frequencies in specific configurations.
