Methodology for Joint Work of Industrial Robots and Processing Centers

This article describes the method and steps for developing a robotic system based on an industrial robot-manipulator, a conveyor belt carrying polymer parts for mechanical processing, driven by a three-phase motor with appropriate frequency control, three single-phase processing centers (universal motors) for mechanically processing of small details, controlled by a three-phase frequency converter, and switching and safety equipment. The control of single-phase universal motors using a three-phase frequency converter and the use of chokes to reduce excessive voltage fluctuations supplied to the universal motors were the two main issues that needed to be resolved in order to implement the robotic system. To realize a correct and reliable operation of the entire system, it is crucial to realize robustness of the entire system.
