Improvement of robot industrial standardisation

Objective



The international standard ISO 9283 (Manipulating Industrial Robots - Performance Criteria and Related Test Methods) which has become the European standard EN 29283 has the following deficiencies:
- Because of deficiencies of the standard itself, the values defined within ISO 9283 do not sufficiently and reliably exhibit the accuracy requirements for teach-in and off-line programming, and for robot exchange and quality control. - The standard ISO 9283 is not oriented towards robot applications. The relation between the defined performance criteria and the robot applications is not transparent.
- Because of these deficiencies the standard is rarely used, which in itself is a deficiency for an international standard.
Thus, the goals of the proposed project are:
- Investigation of robot test procedures and test equipment at different robot users in Europe. Different classes of robot users are defined: users having a maximum of 10 robots (class II), users with a number of robots between 10 and 1 and users with more than 100.
- Determination and analysis of robot-user's requirements for robot performance criteria and testing procedures.
- Classification of different robot test procedures in function of robot applications, enabling the robot user to select the right robot for his application. Envisaged robot applications are: spot welding, are welding, spray painting and coating, assembly, gluing, handling, water jet and laser cutting, deburring and sensor based robot applications (vision, torque/force sensors,...).
- Improvement of performance criteria, and related measurement and evaluation methods/procedures for industrial robots which are to be used for comparison of robots, quality control and for quality assurance.
- Further development and validation of automated measurement systems for EN 29283 / ISO 9283 and criteria with better reliability.
- Dissemination of the standard and determination system to European users and manufacturers of industrial robots.
- Contribution to the revision of ISO 9283 initiated by ISO TC184 / SC2 / WG2.
'Standards, Measurements & Testing' workprogramme areas covered by the project are: THEME 1: Measurements for Quality European Products Including Written Standards for Industry 2.1.4
Technical Support to the Achievement of Total Quality in Measurement - The scientific and technical basis for written European standards. - Effective product control and inspection techniques.
- Instrumental software validation, networking and 'self'-calibration. - Simplified testing procedures to reduce demands on operators. - Quality assurance procedures adapted to the needs of SMEs.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
