About
University Of Sheffield awarded a contract to Electroimpact UK Limited for the design, installation and set-up of a high-accuracy robotic milling system for use within the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre's Factory 2050 at Europa Avenue, Sheffield.
The project involved changing the method of CNC control for a KUKA Titan Robot to a system using external linear encoders and new kinematic control to provide greatly increased accuracy of the robot's movement, in paths and in motion.
The scope included design and installation of the high-accuracy robotics system using high-accuracy external linear encoders to measure a KUKA Titan motion, derivation of new kinematics, design and build of a machining end-effector, and full setup, safety cell and calibration.
The contract value was £450,000.
