碩士 === 明新科技大學 === 機械工程系精密機電工程碩士班 === 105 === In recent years, the requirement for automation has dramatically increased. The objective of automation is to improve the productivity and to reduce the cost at the same time. However, a piece of arts draws people’s attention due to its unique attraction. It’s not regarded as in the same category as for mass production. This research studies the applications of a six-axis robot arm on engraving technology. Integrate a pen-shaped engraving device and a multi-axis manipulator to become an engraving robot for related works. It can help to reduce time of basic forming process in engraving technology. In the meantime, it will not lose the unique nature in arts.This study developed parametric programs for path planning of a robot used in engraving work. Through input of parameters for different geometries, it is easy to make the engraving path planning done for a robot doing engraving work on different working planes. Experiments have been done with KUKA KR 5 Sixx R650 six-axis robot. With genuine software tool from the robot company, several parametric programs were developed for various geometric shapes which include circular grooves, triangle grooves, rectangular grooves, etc. That would help speeding up the forming process. According to integration requirement, a design work has been done for specific end-effector. It can combine a robot arm and a pen-shaped engraving device to become an engraving robot. Robot manipulators are not only for repetitive and simple jobs, but also for more applications.
