Seeking for your advice in this:
We are being offered a 6 dof Fanuc robot with a System R-H controller. (Exact robot type is not known yet) Cables and the handheld device are present. 'Software is missing', whatever that means.
This robot with its controller was put aside in working condition a couple of years ago according to the seller.
We are a couple of electronics and CNC enthusiasts and computer geeks (most of us have a master degree in applied science or similar). We do not have any first hand experience with industrial robots. Our man's cave is a fablab and we'd love to have this thing to experiment with. That is if there is any chance to make it work...
Aside from the above, is anything additional required to make it work?
Any computer interface or software requirements?
What should we check/look into before buying it?
