| dc.description.abstract | The work described in this paper address the problems of productivity of Grohe's Portugal grinding/ polishing department, related to the frequent stops of robotic cells for on-line programming and program adjustments. The solution to the stated problem was achieved through the adoption of off-line programming as an alternative to the conventional on-line method. Efforts were developed to overcome some limitations and restrictions found in terms of the software applications used, in order to adapt and improve their use to the needs of this type of contact applications. The solution developed is currently used for off-line programming the grinding robots at Grohe Portugal, with a significant reduction in the cells stop time to program the robots and also in the cycle time. The application of the off-line programming method and of the new programming techniques allowed to obtain a reduction of the cell stop time (up to 85% reduction), to optimize the production cycle time (up to 10% reduction) and, simultaneously, good results in terms of product finishing. The main limitations faced are the lack of realism of the wheel flexibility and the lack of sensitivity of the contact force with it. | pt_PT |
