Abstract: A special control system of IRb 60 industrial robots by using PC computer was shown in this work. Robots steering system equipped with the controller connected to computer’s LPT port was made and tested. This interface was connected to a manual control panel of the robot. The system was controlled by special VB 6.0 software. It is possible manual or automated control of robot move. Using this system was made other applications for many tasks of using an industrial robot equipped with tool and sensors in research and manufacturing.

Abstract: Nowadays increase using of tools with geometric and kinematical flexibility (GKF). In paper present idea of this tool with drive as mechatronics tool. Was shown an examples of some market mechatronics tools. Was presented too own solutions of mechatronic tools with one degree of freedom (DOF) for turning. This tools are controlled using stepper motor by use of PC. To control of the tool was used PC with the motor control interface connected to the LPT port. The first tool with rotary axis perpendicular to lathe axis was used to control rake angle or angle of edge. Second presented tool is equipped in linear axis perpendicular to lathe axis. Tool placed in the guides was driving using the stepper motor and a screw cooperating with the nut joined with the tool. This tool mounted to the holder tool allows machining shape surface using the universal lathe.
