Your assessment is generally accurate I think. All the equipment you list is possible.
But you've got some learning and engineering to do before you jump into this:
- learn about laser safety
- learn about robot safety
- CAD-to-path: very common, many solutions on the market today
- work cell and layout design
I think the greatest challenge is your precision requirement. Robots are repeatable to within a tolerance, but not always accurate. CNC equipment costs more because it is accurate to within a tolerance. Dedicated equipment (for laser cutting, for example) has been engineered to be effective, accurate, and efficient. Plus those companies have a Sales, Service, and Technical Support function to help users be successful and profitable. A home-grown system has none of that.
Thank you for your reply.
I knew that there will be something that will not "tick all the boxes" for me... When I design anything with my CAD designer, we work with 0.1mm precision for sheet metal and 1mm precision for tempered glass.
Precision is actually TOP priority, otherwise it wont fit once complete...
It's a shame I cant use this system, because I mostly need more than 2 axis for chamfering (countersunk rails, countersunk screw holes...)
Thank you
