Abstract

The disassembly of used goods is characterized by strongly varying quantities and a wide range of different kinds and states of products. Furthermore, the requirements of a disassembly system are determined by the disassembly object, by the process as well as by the disassembly system itself. As a result of the high labor costs in industrial countries and the huge amount of used goods, an automated disassembly is favored for the industrial disassembly. New methods for the programming of industrial robots have to be developed because the costs for a programming of small lot sizes are a key factor of the economic efficiency of small and medium sized enterprises (SME). In this paper an off-line programming environment for programming of industrial robots in the field of automated disassembly is presented. The exemplary implementation is realized at a pilot disassembly system, which was built up at the Institut für Werkzeugmaschinen und Fabrikbetrieb (IWF) of the Technische Universität Berlin.
