The thesis focuses on the fabrication of a simple sheet metal part using single point incremental forming with the help of the collaborative robot TM14S. The theory part
introduces the theoretical bases of incremental sheet forming and important features of collaborative robots. In its main body, the thesis gives a detailed account of the complete process of forming 0,3 mm thick AW-1050A aluminum sheet into a simple truncated conical shape. It includes preparations of the collaborative robotic cell, robot programming, and physical execution of the process. Besides using the TMflow software to make the final program, Matlab was utilized to generate an accurate toolpath. The results gained after the process confirm that incremental sheet forming can be carried out successfully with a collaborative robot. However, there remains much space for improvement and upgrading of the process.
