Abstract
This article discusses the issue of the preparation of the foundry moulds with the use of an industrial robot. The methodology is presented
for the determination of the process capacity index for placing inserts with flat and cylindrical faces. On the basis of the relationships
developed, the process capability indices were determined at various points in the workspace, which are characterised by different values
of the repeatability positioning error. It was shown that the value of the process capacity index can be increased by the selection of a
suitable location for the process of placing the inserts in the workspace. It should also be noted that the value of the process's capability
index depends on the selection of the place in the robot workspace where the process is carried out. Implementation of the joining process
at an analysed point in the robot workspace leads to an increase of the process capability index MCp for inserts with flat faces up to 1.1
(+4.5%) and for inserts with cylindrical faces up to 1.3. This results in an increase of 13% to a level corresponding to the global standard
for process reliability (MCp = 1.33).
