Abstract

For years the course IEM has been giving the course PMS. During this course, students get the unique experience of working with real production line simulations. These simulations are programmed via LabVIEW. However, when a robotic arm is placed in between, which is programmed in MATLAB, a problem arises. As these three robots work together, they must be programmed inside the same application. This research focuses on the complexity of programming three different robots to work as a production line, where these robots are not made for each other. In addition to this, the robotic arm developed by the DTPA is further researched. Research concerning the robotic arm mainly focuses on whether the robotic arm has enough precision and how to increase this. For the robotic arm, a control system has been developed, as well as identifying the necessary motors. Only using these motors makes it possible for the robotic arm to work effectively in between the two Festo stations. In addition to this, the programming of the Festo stations can be easily transferred to MATLAB containing the same educational value as in LabVIEW.
