The presented work here is devoted to the definition of innovative methodologies to speed up the programming time of a robotized deburring task. The proposed solutions are defined in a standard cast iron foundry scenario, where the deburring workstations are equipped with flexible but inaccurate fixturing system, the working environment is dirty, and the production is characterized by small batches. The developed system exploits a 3D vision sensor, namely a single-point laser displacement sensor (SP-LS), in combination to a handshaking communication process for the robot-sensor information synchronization. Such approach enables the robot to be used as a measuring instrument allowing a fast reconstruction of 3D images extremely robust in hard working conditions. Adopting a two-stage methodology, the comparison of the reconstructed 3D point cloud with the nominal 3D point cloud allows the automatic adjustment of the robot deburring trajectories. An experimental campaign demonstrates the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.
