Abstract

The widely used of industrial robots in manufacturing industries has brought in a new challenge of safety aspects for workers and robots. Injury rates may increase without a proper safety system for industrial robot workspace. This project is designed and developed with the purpose of decreasing the injury rates happened in the industries. The main objective of this project is to design and develop a computer program to determine 3D robot workspace and safe working area. In this project, the emphasis is on safety and several aspects during installation of the industrial robot to ensure the safety of the robot working area. Few variables and specific dimensions are needed during installation of the industrial robot and to determine the robot work envelope. In order to design and develop this computer program, a research and study on industrial robot and its specification are carried out and described briefly in this report. Other than that, a study on a computer program and drawing software is done to enhance a knowledge and information used in this project. The result of research and study are chosen and used as a reference in designing and developing the computer program. Solid Work software is used to create 3D robot workspace while Microsoft Visual Basic. Net is chosen to program a computer program. In this project user can interact with the developed user interface to get the result. 4 user level interfaces are developed to guide the user using the program. These user level interfaces guide the user using the program step by step until they get the result is obtained. User selects the brand of robot, model of robot, size of tooling and configuration of robot. The program will show the space of the robot safe working area. By using this program, it can shorten the time for installing the industrial robot.
