Ok guys, I'm almost done, spindle mounted and spin tested, now I need to find a way to let the robot know that the stock is 1200mm away to right (right side of the robot), I know I can input 1200mm at the 7th axis in RM(Robotmaster) but I haven't got the right post yet, so I need find an alternative way to move E1 1200mm to the right. I have tried moving E1 (Linear Axis) 1200mm to the right by jogging it, but when I execute a program it returns to the position in the 1st place, would it work if I move the robot to he right then turn off E1 in machine data?
Almost reay for Milling!

Just modify the .E1 component of your move in the program.

Did a little bit of searching, I need to add PTP{E1180} somewhere in the program, right?
But that is in degree, how about in linear distance 1220mm? -
It depends on how your external axis is set up, but if it's a track then generally the E1 value is in mm.
Yours looks like it's a Kuka track so there should be no issues.
PTP{E1 1200.0}

It depends on which points in your program include an E1 value. If every point includes a value for E1, then you'll need to make the correction to every point. If only one point includes an E1 value, then you only need to correct that one.

I moved the base/stock closer to the robot+track and the Base co-ordinates becomes:
x=1510
Y=16.5
Z=484
A=0
B=0
C=0
this also reduce the "Red lines" when calculating tool orientation where as before I often get "Out-of-Reach"
No PTP E1 -1200 is used. -
Ok, started facing the PU block!!

What do you want to mill? I made one demon head about a week ago if you like it, can do the code?
take a look: -
wow, that's a nice 3D model, did you you create that?
I want to try this:

Yes - it is my model... i can add a torso if you want. Or can do a bust -
Not sure how to do the rotational axis, but will give it a try -
Is it Maya, 3Dmax, Freeform + sensable? It looks really high def., I like it. Is not a 3d scanned model is it? how long did it took you to create the head in CAD?
I can try milling the head, but 1st need to do the 8th axis rotation sync with 6 axis like in the video. -
It is done in Zbrush - i am learning it. Took me about four hours to do it - still not complete.
I can try to do this for you in Sprutcam?
-
if you can send my a file of the demon cad i can try it also with Delcam Powermill Robot Interface.
-
Vvelikov,
Sprutcam is fine, but do you have the post for external axis?
Potis,
have uoi tried the rotation method before?, maybe you can give it a try. -
Hmmm...I'd be careful with that demon head. I think there is a high risk for collision due to the many holes and blind spots. Also the tips of the horns might not withstand the vibrations. You will probably need a true maestry with conv/climb, speeds and tool direction.
I will soon post you pics and facts from some of our CAD-to-Robot solutions. We have achieved Robot, Robot+1 ext. axis and Robot+2 ext.axis operations for milling, cutting, welding and dispensing projects. Solidworks, UG, Powermill and/or customised prc for KUKA, Motoman, Fanuc and Mitsubishi. Unfortunately, most of the customers do not allow any info to go public due to the major step-ahead that they maintain at the moment. As soon as their products hit the market, we are free to gradually release info, so please allow me some time.

Potis: here is the file:
I am not sure what is the real size of the Head (it should be about 300mm in height), so check it in your software and change it if needed.
RAS-Skordos GR:
I would do a model like this one in separate pieces... but for the testing it is not needed to do it with that level of detail may be.
I am attaching the last model i did in MDF -
happytriger2000: to do the code for you i will need to know more about your tooling - what size router bit you have/want to use for this foam and also some info about the tool holder to prevent it touching the part.
-
The cutter bit is: 20mm dia. 256mm length.(from tool tip to tool holder), tool holder HSK F63.
