Abstract

As the application of industrial robots in machining is constantly increasing, many techniques have been developed to make this use more efficient and accurate. The robot controller is one of the key factors to influence the robot performance. This paper discusses the performance of a CNC kernel which is directly integrated into the industrial robot. The dynamic motion of the robot is thoroughly analyzed. A conventional robot controller is carefully evaluated to make a clear comparison.
