Cheap Industrial Robot machining direct from CAD information.
Demo of Global Robot’s robotic CAD CAM system. The robot paths are generated directly from CAD data. The robot is a six axis, 1994 ABB IRB 6400 with S4 M94A controller. The robot has a 120kg payload and a reach of 2.4m. This example is fitted with a high speed spindle cutting foam but the system can be used on many different materials including wood, GRP, metal, plastics and others. Applications include milling, profiling, gear cutting, deburring, water jet cutting, plasma cutting, polishing, prototype model making and rapid prototyping. Accuracy depends on the tooling and robot used but expect around 0.1mm.
CAD files that can be used include G-CODE and APT-CL. Prices for this type of system start at £9,995 GBP (around $14,995 USD) including the robot, path generating software and training.
