摘要

Industrial robots cannot move with the same precision as machine tools. In this research, a simulation method was introduced to study the influence of normal errors on material removal to reduce the impact of the motion accuracy of industrial robots on machining quality. Laser tracker measurement equipment was used to measure at the end of trajectory precision, which was converted into the normal motion of the cathode. A simulation method for electrochemical machining (ECM) process was introduced to study the influence of normal errors, processing voltages and X-axis moving speed on material removal. Experiments were conducted to illustrate the simulation method in robot ECM process. Results showed that the proposed method can effectively reflect the actual process.
