The study aims to select the tools suitable for each part of a
workpiece on the basis of CAD system, and to efficiently polish it by
a 6-DOF industrial robot. Recently, even a product consists of too
various shapes to finish it with a type of polishing tool. In the
paper, the system automatically selects I-shaped type rotational tool
or L-shaped type one according to the shapes of each part in a
workpiece. As a result, it is found that the selection of two types of
the tools in effective to polish a workpiece.
