From its inception in 1983, ESPRIT (the European Strategic
Programme for Research and Development in Information Technology)
has aimed at improving the competitiveness of European industry and
providing it with the technology needed for the 1990s. Esprit
Project 623, on which most of the work presented in this book is
based, was one of the key projects in the ESPRIT area, Computer
Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). From its beginnings in 1985, it
brought together a team of researchers from industry, research
institutes and universities to explore and develop a critical
stream of advanced manufacturing technology that would be timely
and mature for industrial exploitation in a five year time frame.
The synergy of cross border collaboration between technology users
and vendors has led to results ranging from new and improved
products to training courses given at universities. The subject of
Esprit Project 623 was the integration of robots into manufacturing
environments. Robots are a vital element in flexible automation and
can contribute substantially to manufacturing efficiency. The
project had two main themes, off-line programming and robot system
planning. Off-line programming enlarges the application area of
robots and opens up new possibilities in domains such as laser
cutting, and other hazardous operations. Reported benefits obtained
from off-line program ming include: - significant cost reductions
because re-programming eliminates robot down-time; - faster
production cycles, in some cases time-savings of up to 85% are
reported; - the optimal engineering of products with improved
quality."
