Adding Robotic Arms to Roubo workbench

[@kekoajk05]

Jesus… the possibilities boggle my mind.. but with a decent router you could use to machine wood…. The simplicity of the methods to achieve an end with that accuracy is both inspiring and frustrating that I’ve never even remotely thought about designing something similar… Downright killer upload, I just subbed and can’t wait for future uploads and especially to keep track of this gadget’s development.. respect

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Thank you for highlighting that 👌 and for the lovely comment, happy new year 🤝

Ok… I have to first say that many many months ago I watched what was part one (in fact multiple times; even had it downloaded and on a playlist). I didn’t know where this ended up until today. I have no good excuse for it, I had just watched the first part many times thinking it was akin to Shannon Rogers’ joinery bench. I had saved it as just another video to have put away incase I decided to do a smaller bench for keeping up at out family cabin where it wouldn’t build large furniture, but would see boxmaking, carving, bowls, spoons😮, etc… While that first part indeed can fill the position of another contribution to smaller M&T timbered benches, I now see that you went and built something altogether magnificent on another level. Not my style or gig, but Bravo Zulu! We have two small NGK factories here in my town in NW Tennessee, so I’m not gonna sleep on that and will surely make aquatintenses with their mechanical departments. I’ve already scored some nice pulleys and acme thread from the CubCadet factory and would be neat to see what I can get into at NGK 😂. PS: I set up my own glue station just like you have with the two baths about 3 years ago and love it. Had to dial in and mark exactly where the thermostats heat without over heating my glues, but afterwards it’s been the bees knees for hide glue, making my own polishes, and slightly heating up hard wax oils. 👍

Wow, the potential for this setup is endless.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Absolutely! Same thinking here buddy 👌

[@tommynoyes9814]

I know! It could have been called Roubatic arm

That factory junk yard looks like a gold mine. And, I checked out NSK's site - lots of interesting stuff there.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Yeh it looks like a gold mine for people like us 🙂👌, and NSK makes very high quality bearings and linear guides, but usually they are focusing on industrial market rather than hobbyist or small workshops! Look into eBay for a reasonable prices otherwise their products are damn expensive.

[@unclesnackschuene]

Looks Great

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Thanks!

[@enigmaticunknown2862]

Wish I knew why that is necessary. Looks cool though, good luck.

[@alkant7582]

Awesome build, that should come very handy for many wooden projects. I also found myself a NSK 1.6m long linear actuator for a song. Planing on using it for gantry build router. If you ever expand the functionality a cool idea would be to add a cross roller bearing (think rotary actuator) behind the z axis. You can use a 6"-8" bearing depending on max load with some sort of stop (worm gear) then you can use the spindle at different angles and got yourself a 4 axis machine.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

That is a great Idea that I should try, I will be adding the spindle soon and start exploring the possibilities with this machine, a 4th axis should be a great addition for sure. thank you for sharing that 🤝

Very cool stuff! Your workbench is amazing too btw, just came from that video. I wish there were a junkyard like that near me! Is it some sort of junkyard that is specific to industrial equipment or something as opposed to just cars?

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Thank you, yes it’s an industrial junkyard that is dismantling old factories and sell out the parts, yet not nearby 😊

[@michaelshipman1171]

Wow, looks like I’m the first to comment!? Wow no2, this looks like NASA meets Roubo, I was intrigued to watch you make and assemble this, I am still not sure of its application as I’m a basic woodworker but I take my hat off to you with regard your foresight and engineering skills to make something with such minute tolerances. I’m looking forward to the concluding part to actually see what it does. Well done that man! Happy new year, Mike from Cornwall, UK.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Happy new year Mike and thank you for your encouraging comment, I will post the final part soon 🤝

[@sheslop888]

Wow! That's crazy! You better contact your lawyer and make sure that's in your will. You don't want that sold off to some random person in an estate sale. Lol. Beautiful work! I look forward to your next video.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

😊 man you made me laugh, because that exactly what I was telling my wife a couple of days ago, I am thinking about the lucky bastard who will be inheriting this workbench after I am gone! not knowing how many hours it took me to finish and might not give it the care it deserves 😄. Happy new year 🤝

[@Ragnovlod]

@@TheWoodCrafter1 That's funny, I was thinking after the initial build, before you added the Robo Arm, if I had something like that, I'd be damned if I'd ever lay so much as a hammer on it. Outstanding, Beautiful work!

[@garyjonah22]

Just a word of warning about that orange turns counter you've used. I fitted one to my Jet planer and it worked fine for a good while. Then I started getting undersized pieces now and again. At first, I thought it was finger trouble by me, but after a while I became suspicious and looked a bit closer. The counter gadget was missing turns now and again. So, it can't be trusted and I've binned it. I looked at dismantling it to see what was causing the problem but it seems to be put together with a one-way ticket, and disassembly looks to be impossible without wrecking it - not that it's any use as it is - but you can waste a lot of time messing about with crap like this, and one is often no wiser when it's in bits on the bench. My advice is to get a remote read-out linear scale and measure the actual travel.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Thank you for sharing your experience about the position indicator, the one I am using is made by Elesa in Italy, there are other cheap Chinese products though which I don’t trust! But for now as I have already installed it, I will keep an eye on it , if it fails then I will change this whole setup. 🤝
