TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method is given for estimating robot throughput times from elementary velocity profiles, and the falloff in throughput due to the effect of many small robot movements is emphasised.
Abstract: The successful introduction of robots into an industrial enterprise means real commitment, engineering support, and detailed involvement in the planning of an integrated manufacturing system. In particular, the production engineer is clearly seen in this context to be the system designer. He must therefore be in a position to specify the performance of all man and machine components within the system such that productivity is maximised. Robot types are reviewed, and analogies between man and machine are used to introduce the RTM concept. Finally, a simple method is given for estimating robot throughput times from elementary velocity profiles. The fall-off in throughput due to the effect of many small robot movements is emphasised.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied and analyzed the usage of 3D measuring devices attached to the robot manipulator according to determine the range and the purpose of such industrial measurements, and developed a knowledge base suitable for different production areas.
Abstract: Measuring and inspection works in production process using laser scanners attached to the robot manipulators are more and more used in different ways and purposes. The aim of this article is to study and analyze the usage of 3D measuring devices attached to the robot manipulator according to determine the range and the purpose of such industrial measurements. Different scanning devices are applied in production areas with varying purposes, such as 3D scanning of the new product, in order to inspect and find defects. Attached to the robot manipulator, scanners or laser measuring devices are able to scan every object in range of a robot, which makes the measuring process very flexible. Several tests with 3D scanners were performed to find out the optimal conditions and configuration for production purpose. As a result, knowledge base suitable for different production areas was developed. Thus, it would be feasible to have a common database to be implemented in different production areas.
