Design of robotic cell for welding operations at specific production part including unchangeable process technology. Design of subsystems provides required functions and abilities. Risk management of entire model and its transformation into Siemens Process Simulate simulation software including creation task-cycle simulation.

This diploma thesis contains description of design of robotic cell, which automates process of glass neck ring welding. Robot arm is used as manipulator of part between entry conveyor, induction heating, automatic welding machine and outgoing palette. Construction process contains of making layout of the cell, design of needed workstations and minimalize risk of harm for human operator. The final construction design is simulated to verify robot reach and find manipulation time.

The aim of the thesis is conceptual design of robotic workplace with its subsequent simulation. The current workplace for manufacturing and deburring parts for automotive industry is operated manually. The plan is overall automation and replacement of operators by robots. The thesis deals with the concept of layout of elements in the cell, and the procedure of their selection or design. Process simulation is performed in the Process Simulate software from Siemens. For the purposes of the work is used RCS module, which on the basis of dynamic conditions can calculate the cycle of production very close to the reality. The production cycle is compared to the current workplace. The work also deals with the economic evaluation of the proposed workplace.

The thesis deals with design of robotic cell for operation with CNC machine. When CNC machine is machining, inactive robot is used for deburring specific edges on the workpiece with help of pneumatic spindles. Thesis include design of end-effectors for handling and deburring operations, design and placement of individual parts of robotic cell. Part of the thesis deals with safety of the cell. Next part of thesis is focus on finding out cycle time of the robot. Robot have to manage cooperate with CNC machine and deburr edges in time. Cycle time is find out at simulation study in software called Tecnomatix Process Simulate. On the end of thesis is technical-economics evaluation
