Use of an industrial robot in the automatic production process as a spindle carrier is currently an interesting topic. However, if the stiffness of the robot is not sufficient, various imprecisions may occur during machining. The article deals with monitoring and evaluation of the impact of cutting conditions and positions of the workpiece in the working area on machined surfaces oriented in orthogonal planes. The aim of the experiment is to analyse the precision of simple planar surfaces milled using a robot

In frame of the project KEGA 027STU-4/2014 at our institute, we are building a virtual laboratory of robotics. The main objective is to build a laboratory together with a set of training modules in the field of automation and industrial robotics that will serve to teach the principles of automatic control of manipulation and programming of industrial robots, which are now increasingly implemented in production practice. Built laboratory will develop the knowledge and expertise of students in the field of automated and robotic systems, application of innovative educational program and methodology of using modern technologies, including CA and e-learning.

The paper deals with the design of replaceable jaws on pneumatics gripper on the CNC milling machine EMCO Concept MILL 105, which is part of the iCIM 3000 like as manufacturing and assembly system. The current shape and size of the replaceable jaws is not suitable for the new component base. When designing replaceable jaws to allow firm and safe clamping of rotating and non-rotating parts, it was based on limiting factors such as parameters of the pneumatics gripper, dimensions, shape and material of the clamped parts and the like.
