“…The method was used to improve drilling quality by assuring the thrust force, and to reduce the sliding during the first contact between the twist drill and the workpiece. Brunete et al [136] proposed hard materials machining by robot with an improved position-control approach and enhanced compliance-control functions. In their method, a novel strategy to compensate for elastic could improve the robot performance and applicability of robots in machining tasks.…”

For the past three decades, robotic machining has attracted a large amount of research interest owning to the benefit of cost efficiency, high flexibility and multi-functionality of industrial robot. Covering articles published on the subjects of robotic machining in the past 30 years or so; this paper aims to provide an up-to-date review of robotic machining research works, a critical analysis of publications that publish the research works, and an understanding of the future directions in the field. The research works are organised into two operation categories, low material removal rate (MRR) and high MRR, according their machining properties, and the research topics are reviewed and highlighted separately. Then, a set of statistical analysis is carried out in terms of published years and countries. Towards an applicable robotic machining, the future trends and key research points are identified at the end of this paper.

“…As shown in figure 1, as opposed to a CNC machine tool, an industrial robot, with the same workload, can achieve complex 3D shapes, since it owns a higher workspace, good programmability, flexibility and adaptability [4]. When robots are used a 20-30% reduction in the total cost has been shown in different researches [5,6].…”

The approach of this paper was to analyze the technical borders of industrial robots and to provide an overview of current technology, technical constraints and the potential types of future research suggestion concerning robotic machining. These complex automation machines used in manufacturing processes are an emerging chapter of industrial engineering that contribute to automatically performing operation in subtractive manufacturing and sheet metal forming processes. Compared with CNC machines which have shape limitations and have the restricted working area, the industrial robot is a flexible, cost-saving alternative.

“…The main motivation for using robots instead of CNC machines is the cost. The price of a comparable robotic solution for machining is typically 1/5-1/3 of the cost of a CNC machine [4]. Despite the lower cost, only about 3% of industrial robots in industry are used for machining.…”

Deburring of cast parts can be a very challenging task. Today, large burrs on large casting are mostly removed manually. Workers are exposed to hazardous working conditions through, among other things, high noise and vibration levels. Special purpose CNC-machines are available for deburring tasks, but they have a high investment cost that makes them unfit for high-mix low-volume processes. Deburring with robot manipulators are seen as a suitable and less expensive alternative, and have been in the focus of research topic for the last 50 years. Unfortunately, it has failed to move from research into industrial applications. One reason is the long system setup time that makes the cost of automatic deburring too high. This paper deals with the status and usage of robot manipulators in deburring applications with a focus on solutions for cast parts. The deburring pipeline and its components are investigated. There is a special focus on the solutions that lead to a more flexible and automatic deburring system by using sensors such as laser, vision and force control. The solutions are evaluated with regards to the current challenges with robotic deburring and what needs to be improved for robotic deburring to become available for high-mix low-volume processes.
