This article deals with solving the urgent scientific problem of the diagnostics of drives of technological robotized workplaces with support of sensors. The dependence of diagnostic parameters on the technical state of drives of automated technological systems, which is of great economic importance for industrial enterprises, is being investigated. Diagnostic models have been developed based on sensory systems to diagnose drive models of technological robotized workplaces. The use of these models may also include monitoring systems in which it is possible to build a system for identifying detected changes. These systems identify many contradictory changes and thereby reduce the false alarm frequency of monitoring sensory systems. Numerous methods for solving technical diagnostics problems are often based on methods based on mathematical models describing work processes, as well as on spectral analysis of measured parameters, such as vibrations, noise, and electric current. A fuzzy inference system for assessing the technical condition, a system for estimating the residual resource of drives, and asystem for calculating diagnostic intervals based on fuzzy knowledge have been developed. Based on the historical trend of the diagnostic parameters, the intelligent diagnostic system determines the current technical condition of the actuator and predicts future technical condition changes, determines the remaining service life and the time intervals for diagnostics. The analysis of the time spent on planned preventive maintenance of technological equipment makes it possible to conclude that, after the modernization of equipment in 2018, the repair time was reduced from 350 h to 260 h per year (26%). Since 2019, there is a tendency to increase repair time by 30 h each year.

Renishaw Ballbar QC20–W is primarily intended for diagnostics of CNC machine tools, but it is also used in connection with industrial robots. In the case of standard measurement, when the measuring plane is parallel to the robot base, not all robot joints move. The purpose of the experiments of the present article was to verify the hypothesis of the motion of all the robot joints when the desired circular path is placed on an inclined plane. In the first part of the conducted experiments is established hypothesis is confirmed, through positional analysis on a simulation model of the robot. They are then carried out practical measurements being evaluated the influence of individual robot joints to deform the circular path, shown as a polar graph. As a result, it is found that in the case of the robot used, changing the configuration of the robot arm has the greatest effect on changing the shape of the polar graph.

The article discusses the possibility to identify changes in robot accuracy based on deformation of the circular path measured by the Renishaw Ballbar system. The research method utilizes correlation between industrial robot accuracy and precision of method used for the so-called calibration process. The presented experiments consist of two basic parts. The first is positional analysis with a simulation model of the robot in Creo Parametric 4.0. The second part describe practical measurements using the Renishaw Ballbar QC20-W and the Renishaw XL-80 laser interferometer. The results of the experiments confirm that Renishaw Ballbar can be used to quickly and simply identify occurrence of changes in the condition of an industrial robot.
