Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis is to introduce a concept design for a laser robot system - a Dobot Magician equipped with an integrated laser -that could automate rubber stencil cutting processes.
The theoretical section of the thesis covers laser theory, laser cutting processes, and design concepts. In order to choose an appropriate laser for the system, the student has studied a variety of academic materials. Consequently, a CO2 laser has been selected for the application.
The next part is the implementation of the thesis. The laser robot system’s conceptual design was executed after extensive investigation into several theories and technologies. First, a hand-drawn sketch of the concept ideas was created for evaluation. Then it was developed using CAD tools such as Creo Parametric into a comprehensive 3D model. Last but not least, the design will undergo a structural analysis to determine its application and reliability. This was made possible by Ansys workbench’s ability to simulate in a 3D environment, saving time and resources on constructing an actual prototype.
Additionally, the thesis investigates novel transmission systems for laser radiation, such as fiber cables.
