What CAM software but RobotMaster creates 6-axis robot program code off-line?
What is exactly moving between the motion control block of the robot controller and manipulator arm? Is there any feedback from servo motors to motion control block or is the actual control done inside servos?
Randy Harrison from Sage Automation - Application Engineer

Jasper, Typical servo motors have atleast two cables that run from the controller out to each motor. One is the power cable which carries the 3 phase voltage and two is the encoder cable. The encoder cable has low voltage dc and a, b, & z pulse signals. The signals tell the controller exactly which rotation, etc the motor has made (simply), this combined with any gearing, will give you the position for each servo axis. If you need more information, contact me and I can direct you to some web site tutorials. Regards.

I have 4 KUKA 761-125/150 robots from 1994 that I'm trying to get running. Having trouble getting the feed computer to talk to the control CPU. Anyone have any experience with these older machines? I'm very close but need a little insight. Thanks in advance. Marc
I'm looking for a SAW or MIG process to weld big nozzles or pipes in pressure vessels; the requirement is to weld with a semi automatic process in flat position.

Jesus,
We may be able to offer our Twin Welding solution but it needs to be a robotic application. We do not offer a manual solution.
You can email me directly for more information on Twin High deposition process

Estimado Ingeniero, si fuera posible, mi gerente de ventas en la zona del DF quisiera pasar a conocer sus instalaciones y revisar los requrimientos para el sistem de soldaura. La proxima semana seria ideal, pues va estar en Lerma visitando otro cliente. Nos puede proporcionas sus datos para que Antonio Medina se podra comunicar con usted? Agradeciendo su atencion, Erik Nieves

I have a series of 4 round parts ranging from an OD of 200mm and an ID of 108mm; thickness of 8mm. I'm looking for the best solution of deburring both sides following a turning operation. For now we'll say the OD has large spline teeth which have a large burr after turning. My vision is using a robot to pick the part from a conveyor, rotate the part to a series of stationary air driven wire brush units, and the robot able to rotate the part at a sufficient enough speed to deburr the part. Followed by placing the part on a conveyor. Can anyone help with this vision?

Compass Automation would like the opportunity to further discuss your idea and how we will be able to help with it.

Rick,
We have an office in your area, so I have forwarded you information on to the sales manager and he will contact you about your vision.
Erik Nieves from Motoman Robotics - Technology Director

Rick,
Motoman has standard robotic deburring cells that can be applied to this approach. We are less than 40 miles from you and would be glad to walk you through the application and the different robot options for processing the part. In particular, we should discuss the process parameters, dwell times, brush selction, etc. Feel free to contact me directly at 937.287.5060.

Rick,
I would like to look at your application. Please contact me and we can discuss in detail.

I'm looking for applications with robotics using wireless communications. There are lots of wireless communications uses in the military robots such as UAVs etc... I'm specifically looking for other wireless communications applications in other than military uses.
Is it possible adapt an old ABB S3 or S2 Controller for a mill system? If so, which software is needed?
from KMT Robotic Solutions, Inc. (formerly RPT)
Hi Ros - I see that your question has been posted for awhile without answer. Using older equipment for milling can be a challenge depending upon the performance tolerance you're trying to achieve. Perhaps if you clarify the type of tolerance you'd like to get you'll get more feedback. Old robot to us sounds like a tolerance problem waiting to happen.
KMT does have a software product that we call CAMpro that allows users to create tool paths in CAM and then translate those tool paths to run on FANUC or ABB robots. But we only have worked with more recent robot controller models and robot arms that haven't been used for already for a long period of time.

What integrators are experienced with coiling wire or cable that has objects attached to one end?
I have a unique application for under floor wire tracking. This is the same type of wire tracking device used on parts delivery systems using automated pallet trucks in assembly plants.
I need the tracking units to adapt over to a different type of delivery system needed for a hospital enviroment. My time frame is short, less than 2 months, and we need to move fast as the wire has to be included in the building design. Thank you in advance for any and all help on this one. Include your info and credit for the help will be noted in the designs. You will get a copy after the finalization.
I am looking for any case studies on robotics applications in the timber/lumber industies.
Thanks, Paul
