Design of the robotic work cell

This bachelor’s thesis deals with the design of a robotic work cell and the subsequent creation of a simulation for a given application. The assigned task involves handling cardboard or polycarbonate sheets with a maximum size of 800x800 mm, inserting these sheets into a plotter, and subsequently extracting the finished cutouts from it using an industrial robot. The theoretical part of the thesis provides an introduction to the issues related to robotic work cell, end effectors, virtual commissioning, and methods of robotic programming. The practical part first focuses on designing a robotic work cell, followed by a description of the individual components located within this cell and the layout of the cell itself. This is followed by a brief description of the process of creating a simulation environment and operations in the TECNOMATIX Process Simulate software. The outcome of this work is a robotic program and a video of simulation demonstrating the given task
