Abstract

This paper is completed on a study for industrial robotics work unit, in which, continue to grow in the manufacturing world and across industry. While those are efficiently very useful, industrial robots require an initial capital investment, and take training to be able to operate for setting up the optimal performance in terms of capacity providing rate of the cycle time. With a controlled working environment, industrial robots can repeat tasks time after time providing the effective cycle times with an ignorable difference unless the conditions being uncontrollable. In this research work, a set of empirical experimentation is done using a 2^k full factorial DOE, with 2 factors affecting 2 responses. The factors are the type and speed of robotic programing termination, while the responses are cycle time and consistency as variables for the effective performance. The analysis shows that the factor FINE (termination type) at 100% (speed) yielded the best results for cycle time and CNT (termination type) at 100% (speed) yielded the best consistency of the robotics program.
