During the thesis, we designed a robotic cell for cutting polymer products of more complex shapes. The robotic cell consists of a robotic arm with a controller, a robotic positioner with a rotary table and an attached holder for fixing thermoplastic composite products, and a cutting system attached to the end of the robotic arm. As part of the task, we designed and built two different holders and compared them with each other. In particular, we evaluated the adequacy of the fixing of the pieces and the stability of the piece during the cutting process. We created a virtual model of the robot cell, in which we placed the model of the holder and the piece, and then performed measurements to check the consistency between the model of the piece in the virtual environment and the real piece attached to the holder. We also checked the repeatability of the positioning of the piece with the two holders.
