6-axis robotic CNC machining cell

Technical solutions addressed:

Numerical control for drilling, cutting, deburring, finishing

Numerical control for milling, grinding, sanding, polishing

Numerical modelling control

Pedagogical activities:

CAO/FAO parts design

Execution of G-Code programs using soft materials on the standard cell robot

Integration of robotic programs in CNC programs (ex : tool change)

Strong points :

It is a real industrial system that is totally secure and suitable for teaching.

Students develop and implement increasingly widespread industrial robotics solutions (machining, drilling, polishing, modelling, etc.) with high added value.

6-axis robots are increasingly used in industry for their precision and high flexibility. Working with students on these tools helps to develop skills that are highly sought in industry.

KUKA robots are widely used in industry (Kuka is the European leader in industrial robotics).
