Summary

This paper summarises the results of work carried out in planning the application of a robot in a working cell including a small number of metal cutting machines. The viewpoint assumed is that of a first-time user of robots, and includes the procedure for selecting a robot. Because the analysis calls for robot information not readily available to the user, or which is application specific, a significant conclusion is the necessity to establish a structured programme of collaboration between robot user and robot manufacturer, which becomes an essential part of the analytical and design process.
