Design and Implementation for Multi-station Rotary Robotic Polishing System

In order to improve productivity and to solve the Potential shortage of skilled workers in polishing manufacturing, a new type multi-station rotary polishing robot was proposed. This robot mechanical structure was discussed in some detail. The kinematics of this robot was analyzed and the approximate workspace was obtained by Monte Carlo method. The workspace of this robot can meet the most products polishing requirement. a Master-slave control system (M/S) was designed to achieve the function of this polishing robot, Hardware and software structure of control system was discussed, An online teaching programming system for the system to generate the desired polishing path data was introduced simply in this paper, In order to evaluate the performance of the polishing robot system, a polishing experiment of faucet was done and it shows that the system reached design requirements
