    Ружичић Душко
    This document summarizes a master's thesis project that aims to design a robotic manufacturing cell for plasma cutting sheet metal parts at a factory in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Currently, palletizing of cut sheet metal parts is done manually, which takes a long time. The project will design a robotic cell with a six degree of freedom robot and linear axis to automate the palletizing process. This is expected to improve productivity and reduce production costs by eliminating expensive tools and minimizing finishing processes. The thesis will cover flexible manufacturing systems, plasma cutting technology, designing sheet metal processes and robotic operations to simulate and analyze the effects of the robotic manufacturing cell.

    &fter cutting, the parts are picked up from the cutting table and
    palleti$ed depending on whether they are +nished products or some
    other technologies still need to be applied such as- bending, welding,
    assembly, etc!
    (he application of ,N, plasma machine in the process of cutting has led to
    some improvements since the reduced cutting time and improved 7uality
    have been obtained! (his greatly reduces +nishing processes, increases
    productivity and reduces production costs because it almost eliminates the
