We have developed the Parallel Wire-Type Teaching Device (PAWTED) for teaching the desired trajectory to a robot easily and quickly. Generally, an operator uses a teaching pendant to teach the trajectory of required task to an industry robot. However, since it is difficult to move the robot freely with the teaching pendant, the teaching task consumes a lot of time. In this study, we developed the PAWTED3 with a deburring probe for deburring tasks and evaluated the effectiveness of the PAWTED3 by conducting a comparative experiment with the PAWTED3 and the teaching pendant. In this experiment, the operator taught the 5 deburring trajectories to the six-axis industrial robot. As a result, it was confirmed that the teaching time with the PAWTED3 was reduced more than 60% compared to the teaching pendant. Moreover, the PAWTED3 was found to be more effective for difficult trajectories such as a circle.
