Abstract

Robot’s performance characteristics such as accuracy and repeatability are important for industrial robots in manufacturing industries. These two factors are significantly affected by load amount carried by the robot arm and also the distance travelled when it is performing various tasks within its working envelope. The aim of this project is to investigate the accuracy and repeatability of Yaskawa Motoman MH5F robot using the laser interferometry method for different payload and various distances. An interferometer is a precise instrument designed to measure things accurately. Laser interferometry is a recognized measurement method that is accurate and precise. Laser interferometry is the method of interfering two or more waves which is utilized to recognize contrasts between them. Findings from the previous studies show that a robot’s performance was directly influenced with increased load and distance. There were 12 sets of experiment conducted where each had been repeated for 30 times. At the end of the experiment, the robot repeatability and accuracy value obtained are ±0.0047 mm and ±0.237 mm respectively. Hence this proved that Yaskawa Motoman MH5F robot has better repeatability compared to the robots technical specification which is ±0.02 mm. Also, only repeatability against distance factor shows positive linear correlation where the relationship between each other is represented with a model equation of y = 0.0000035x + 0.003716667.
