Studies on robotic deburring of machined components using a SCARA robot

Abstract

In this paper, the complex aspect of deburring of machined components while using a Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) robot is analyzed. There are two practices followed in robotic deburring, viz., the work piece is held by the robot's gripper while the deburring tool is external to the robot and the second mode, the deburring tool is held by the gripper with the work piece is held in a fixture external to the robot. The second mode is the focus of the present paper.
