Abstract


Flexibility and reconfigurable systems are features mandatory in any manufacturing system. This paper presents and determines the main characteristics needed for the cobots design used for the supply of CNC machines. Also, an approach to cobot automation in machine tending was proposed. This approach is feasible for series production in machine shops where the same parts are produced more frequently while replacing the human operator with a collaborative robot for the repetitive tasks of loading, unloading of parts but also cleaning the machine and parts after each part is finished.Another problem to be solved with the proposed system is the production of the finished parts at a maximum efficiency, which can be achieved by not interrupting the process loading and unloading of parts in the machine tool while the materials are loaded in the system.
