Application of laser cutting machines in manufacturing robot frames and product casings

Abstract

Nowadays, the field of science and technology is increasingly developing, and respond to that change, universities around the world often combine theoretical lectures with practical lessons. After learning the theory, students will have access to machines, applying their knowledge to create a complete product. In technical universities, students are trained in practical skills related to designing and manufacturing robots. One essential step in constructing a robot frame is cutting the components. Traditional cutting methods using mechanical cutting machines often fail to ensure the precision and complexity required for intricate cuts. In this study, the authors present research on the application of laser cutting machines for cutting robot frames made from acrylic and manufacturing product casings. The research results demonstrate that using a laser cutting machine for robot frame cutting achieves significantly higher precision and speed compared to manual cutting methods.
