Research of Robotic Automatic Polishing System for Plasma Spray Rapid Mould

Abstract

The robotic automatic polishing system for plasma spray rapid mould has been developed with discussion about how to design robot polishing track, choose effective flexible polishing tools.Based on the system, processing experiments have been carried out and the effects of tool rotary speed and polishing path on the surface quality been studied and the suitable polishing parameters obtained.The polishing experiments on the surface of the mould manufactured by plasma spay have been carried out by using the suitable parameters. Experimental results indicated that the system can be applied in polishing process of the moulds manufactured by plasma spay or other general moulds to obtain the high polishing quality.
