	Abstract	
    In this study, the trajectory planning method of the knife position  of a slitter robot is proposed, and the experimental and numerical  simulation results are demonstrated. The slitter robot consists of upper and  lower knife driving mechanisms, and a knife driving mechanism was  constructed with a worm gear, a ball screw and an alternating current (AC)  motor. In the trajectory planning, first, the identification algorithm of  the friction and the viscous damping is derived by using the equation of  motion of the knife drive mechanism and the experimental results of the  dynamic response with constant AC motor torque. Then, the trajectory  planning algorithm of the knife position is presented, and a knife position  control system is constructed. Furthermore, the experiments and numerical  calculations have been carried out, and the usefulness of the present  trajectory planning method is confirmed.
