A NOVEL MECHATRONIC SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FOR ROBOTIC EYEGLASS FRAMES POLISHING

Abstract

Developments in robotic systems have created opportunities for use in many different areas 
and developed solution systems. Especially in labor-intensive studies, with the use of robotic 
systems, more mass production results were obtained with less errors. Polishing is a work that 
requires a lot of operator experience in manual applications. It is applied in many fields such 
as aviation, industrial and health. Although there are advantageous aspects of current manual 
use due to visual adaptation, the use of robotic systems in polishing applications is increasing 
day by day, especially after the developments in sensor technology. In this study, a robotic 
system has been developed to be used in the finishing processes of glasses frames including 
polishing. By comparing the developed system with the results obtained with the current 
technology, the benefits to be obtained in the use of the developed system were determined. 
As a result of the study, it was determined that the developed system has the ability to 
perform glasses frame polishing processes with high efficiency.
