Description

1302/288/SW/F/15 Design, Installation and Set-up of High-accuracy Robotic Milling System The University of Sheffield invited tenders for the design, installation and set-up of High-accuracy Robotic Milling System for use within the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre's Factory 2050 at Europa Avenue, Sheffield. Scope of Requirement: Method change of CNC control for a KUKA Titan Robot to a system that uses external linear encoders and new kinematic control providing a greatly increased accuracy of the robot's movement, in paths and in motion. Design and installation of a high-accuracy robotics system using high-accuracy external linear encoders to measure a KUKA Titan motion, the derivation of new kinematics, the design and build of a machining end-effector, plus the undertaking of a full set-up, safety cell and calibration for this system.
