Abstract :
In this paper, a method of setup, process automation for machining is presented. Setup is a preprocess that aligns and fixes the target objects on the fixture. Using an industrial robot, an automated setup station system is proposed. As a target object, 8 kinds of moving blocks of LM guide products that requires process of face grinding, drilling, and tapping are selected. A F/T sensor is attached to the robot end-effector to measure the contact force and moment between tool and object
