We are considering the addition of an ABB welding positioner in our robot environment, but have no experience in the area. Thought is that it could be used as a 7th axis rotary table for milling wooden objects. Our current system is an ABB 6400R with S4C+ control running Robware OS 4.0. We are already milling parts in wood with the robot, so we've got the means for robot code generation in-house. We just need to know if what we're proposing is feasible, or is this the beginning of a bad dream?
If possible, what hardware bits are needed to make this work? Our control is pretty much standard issue.
Thanks in advance.
