ALGORITHM FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING THE ROBOT PROGRAM FOR A RECONFIGURABLE PALLETISING APPLICATION

Mircea FULEA, Ciprian TANASELEA, Bogdan MOCAN, Mircea MURAR

Abstract


This paper proposes an algorithm for automatically generating the robot program for a reconfigurable palletizing application, as part of the bigger challenge of developing a reconfigurable palletizing robotic cell, targeted towards SMEs, which should be affordable and as easy to operate as not
to require robot or PLC programming skills. An application example,  overing all the steps of the algorithm, is also presented.
Key words: reconfigurable manufacturing systems, robotized palletizers, automatic robot reprogramming
