Drilling is a widely used and well-optimized process for producing holes. In the real industrial environment, however, the use of robotic hands in all branches of production and other economic activities is increasing every day. The goal of the thesis is to analyze the possibility of using a robotic arm for drilling in aluminum. The limitations of robotic arms are usually related to the ability to carry larger loads and provide stable kinematics for them. Therefore, for the analysis, the fluctuations of the drilling head during the drilling process were measured experimentally, with accelerometers. The purpose of the thesis is also to set up an experimental place that can be used for further research. Different positions of the robotic arm and different loads are compared with the measured accelerations. The measurements were recorded in the DAQExpress software, in which the first processing of the acceleration measurements was carried out. Measurements were further processed in the Python program using absolute moving average accelerations. The results show that the vibrations were most evident at the beginning and end of drilling. With appropriate adaptation of the material entry and exit technology, we found that drilling with a robotic arm is a suitable procedure for making smaller holes in softer materials.
