Lucky you i am still waiting response ... may be one robot is not enough for their attention

Waiting for the upgrade information since yesterday noon... send a reminder today that i am waiting for the info - no luck
RoboticsMan - which country you are in? May be i need to try other than Kuka UK? -
So what is the price for this upgrade?
-
I am also interested in this if anyone has the info.
As about calling Kuka - they usually are very slow in their response - took them about a month to give me an offer for Camrob at the time, actually i had to call to ask directly... -
Hi fazza85, are you using also Powermill robot interface? or just Powermill with a Kuka postprocessor?
What is the rough price for a cell with 7th axis?
Thanks! Looking good -
Is it working in KRC2 as well? Can i upload files in realtime with this?
-
Why don't you try it with Sprutcam?
I never used rotary table (my one still waiting ;)) but Sprutcam is very flexible in this as i can see from the example videos.
And it is easy to get a trial version for a month or two... the postprocessor is included, may be you will need to do just the model of your configuration. -
Thanks guys!
The idea is to combine it with auto tool changer and to correct the tool length automatically as well.
What communication device will i need to use? -
Hi guys,
i am thinking to try to do an automated tool length measurement and will need your help in this as i never did such a thing
It should work as in this video - after changing the tool to check the length of the new one:

I am using Sprutcam everyday for cutting flat sheets and there's no problem with arcs, small circles and so on.
What speed you using to cut these circles?
Is your robot mastered properly?
Did you do this calibration - read carefully:http://www.robot-forum.com/rob…-match/msg59073/#msg59073
Don't worry about the trial - if you need more time, just message me and i will arrange it for you.

Hi guys, thank you for the fast replies!
I am using 3+2 strategy for the milling - it is not simultaneous milling, just approaching the detail from different angles - with fixed angle(orientation).
There is a lot of rotation of 4 axis as part of the path is getting close to singularities.
I am sorry if a get wrong about the usage of the robot but i was under impression that it is counting as not hardly used under 20 000 hours - the first maintenance of the robot? May be the robot needs oil changing and check of all gears?Leon - i just found this fault - didn't checked with different angles. Will do detailed checks with 5 axis milling to see if that happens when robot moves continuously.
Thanks again! -
Hi there, i am working on a problem with a robot used for milling applications. In short - there is a difference when it is milling with different degrees lets say +30 and -30 around X (
Base). The difference is about 2 mm horisontaly and verticaly.
I noticed that there is a bit of play on 4 and 5 axis - is it possible this to cause the problem? The robot is freshly mastered and is working fine when milling vertically.
Any ideas? I am starting to think tthat it may need fixing of these two axis. Tje robot is not hardly used - about 13000 hours. -
check your batteries - probably they are about to die...
-
You can try http://www.sprutcam.com/ - they will give you fully working evaluation version with postprocessor and everything to do some tests
-
Why not to sell it to you even if you won't need it...
-
Not exactly 3d printing, but looks really promising as technology:
-
Thank you, that helps

Hey guys, need some info - where one can buy KRC2 SMB2 module for 7th axis. Is it necessary for fully functional rotary 7th axis? It is only one external axis to be used and i am not sure if i need this module to have 5 axis simultaneous milling? The servo i have is a standard one - for axis A1...
Anyone? -
Hi Phil,
point by point:1. Do the tool data in tool lib. have something to do with the tool data in machine dimension? - The tool data in machine dimension - into the software - should reflect your actual tool data for the current tool you using on the robot. You will have this data after you calibrate the tool with the method i described previously. The tool data in the library when you are making the cut strategy is just data about the cutter - it is added over the machine dimension you did BEFORE you start with any cutting. I mean - first, when you start a new file (job) you are doing the machine dimension and etc. AFTER that you are importing the workpiece, choosing the strategy for milling etc.
Once you have the correct machine dimension you can put them into your robot file/configuration and it will be there every time you start new file(job) with this robot.if the tools are relative then, SPRUTCAM calibrates different tools comparing with standard tool? - what do you by mean different and standard tools?
Do I have to generate each robot program for each tool? Yes, for each program first you need to choose a tool for it. It is like in the real life - you are changing the tools for rough and finishing operations, right?
how can I set the user frame (or base), I can not find it in my sprutcam. - Some info you can find here: http://www.sprutcam.com/files/…l?machining_by_robots.htm
and more info, especially if you are new in Sprutcam - watch these tutorial movies for robots:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV929jSQYP0about the tool frame, it is changed - you can attach it manually to any point from here:
-
You need to calibrate your robot using not only xyz 4-point, but also ABC 2-point - to get the right orientation of the head.
check this PDF i am attaching here, and have in mind to do the calibration with XYZ as in this image:-X should point forward, +Z should point down.
After you do this, input into the robot model in Sprutcam the numbers you have at the numeric input info of the tool:
this data is going here:
now you should have properly calibrated tool for the robot
When you change the tool after you input this data you just need to do the XYZ 4-point calibration.
