Hello,
At my work (research lab) we got an LR Mate 200iD arm with the R-30iB Mate controller.
No training or anything sort of. Just the robot arm and that's all.
My task is to basically make a 3D printer (syringe extrusion) with it, but I never had experience with such environment.
We figured out how to move it around, and program using SprutCAM, load and run the program. Robot moving is done.
I added an Arduino with step motor driver to the syringe extruder. When robot moves, I watch and press the button to extrude.
Now we need next step that is do it automatically - so where to connect wires, and program to turn on/off an I/O ?
The ideal would be Fanuc controller also control the extrusion rate, but for now, it will work Fanuc turn on/off the extrusion in my Arduino board.
Maybe it is very basic for most of you, but I read manual, pulled some hairs and could not find a clear and straight information.
Any kind of help will be very much appreciated, and I plan to give back to community the material that I compile in my journey.
