Robotic Machining: A Force-Control-Based Fast Programming Method

Abstract

A force-control-based robotic machining system is introduced in this paper. Firstly, the machining process is analyzed. Three key technologies: lead-through teaching, path learning and template-based automatic program generation are described and then a fast programming method is proposed. It is proved practically that it can shorten the programming time from days to minutes in robotic machining programming.
