ABB Robotics - Milling Sculpture in Natural Stone

In the last few years Robot integrator T&D in collaboration with a leading supplier of natural stone, Marmi e Graniti d'Italia (MGI), has applied its technology and innovation for applications in the stone industry. One of the latest frontiers in the field is definitely the interaction between ABB robots and natural stone.
Using the creation of a replica of artist Amedeo Modigliani's infamous "HEAD" sculpture in white granite, T&D explored the application of a robotic milling system to evaluate whether industrial robots are capable of the demands and challenges that processing stone requires.
The results of the experiment surpassed all expectations offering a quality of cut comparable to CNC machinery. The possibility of perfecting the approach, integrating milling and polishing, is currently being explored in collaboration with ABB integrator T&D Robotics.

Whats the price. And what spindel is used?

[@kakaplaylisttamil3138]

What kind of milling tools using in this stone

[@forloop7713]

Is this a good business model?

[@QuebecoisSti]

What is the software used to generate the toolpaths ? Is it RobotMaster (looks like it in the video...) or something else ?

I am very pleased and gratified that your company, world leader in the field of robotics, has shared a project I created. Together with the working group, we are proceeding with the implementation of similar initiatives very interesting, related to the artist Amedeo Modigliani. in case you want to know anything else, I'd be happy to send an information report on our work. Best regards, Luca Tacconi

hi can you please let me know what brand and how Meany kw and where to purchase the watercooled spindle that the irb2400 is using in the utube video above, im looking to mill in natural stone but not sure what spindle this robot can handle ?

Oh, I recognize that sculpture. That's by some Italian artist from back the 1950s. He went to Africa, took notes on the native art and incorporated his observations to fashion out his own style. You can behold his stamp in his paintings and sculptures by the elongation of the oval shaped human faces. He's a notable abstract artist. Forgot his name.....Amedio Maglidiadi or something like that (I know I ain't got the name correct). Sheese, been so long since I seen that head and read a lil on him. But hey, that's alright, that ABB arm I mean. If I could afford it, I'd invest some bucks into one of those things and see what happens. Not sure how they compare to FANUK and KUKA, bit I'm gonna do something about that. I think ABB is the one.

He captured the African artstyle of human head abstraction in my opinion. Interesting tho, why did they represent human head in a deformed way like that?

[@martinvrozyna7984]

A robot that, in addition to sculptures, can easily do ordinary production as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpy5fWhnaayajpI

[@ricardomolina8773]

Can it work on a upside down mill machine I'm working on a project trying to look for an arm that's affordable and I would like it to go around upside down or around the whole premises Oval shape promise And upside down Can you suggest

[@mykola4112]

Do you provide CNC milling service in stone now or was this just an experiment? Where could i find a company capable of this?

[@cnccarving]

if I weren't see this video, I wouldn't believe that this tiny robotarm can mill marble.. its incredible...

[@joaoloureiro7057]

Maquina fantástica,onde posso obter informação sobre ela em portugal? estou interessado numa.

[@MrPoof15]

That's one fancy way of 3d printing.

[@JackQuark]

I have no idea that robots can do this now...
