Capability Assessment of Robotized System for Casting Measurement

Assurance of required casting quality is an important element of the manufacturing process. The control should be realized fast, accurately and cheap. These requirements may be fulfilled by application of an industrial robot to realize the measuring process. In the article the methodology of capability assessment of robotized system to control specified casting feature based on analysis of repeatability and reproducibility is presented. It is demonstrated that industrial robots produced serially have the accuracy allowing for their application to control process of both die-casting and pressure casting dimensions.
