Hello could i knwo what robot make si this..i am exploring to procure for our busienss model in india..we are in to sculpture making business with stone, wood ,brass

[@kriksix]

Hi. It's an ABB 7-axis robot arm. I don't have any more information than that, I'm just an artist!

[@bob_frazier]

Well done!!! Those must be some tough mills. Can this be done in Granite?

[@kriksix]

Thanks! I’m not sure about granite, the facility I do this work at specialise in marble

[@waitaminute5343]

Which software is used to do programming

[@evanlecy8788]

How long did this take to fully carve out?

[@kriksix]

Hi. sorry I missed this .. it was milled by the robot arm over 4 days or so, but probably about 48 hours actual milling time. then hand finished over the next couple of days

[@uniontechmachinery]

2-3 days

[@kakaplaylisttamil3138]

What kind of tools you using?

[@kriksix]

@@kakaplaylisttamil3138 7-axis robot arm for milling, then stone carving tools for finishing

[@Noorstud]

I understand that the arm movement is usually driven by an electric driver (motor) and controlled by a microcontroller to perform sequential tasks.

[@Noorstud]

How the robot arm is controlled and or programmed to do so?

[@kriksix]

I work with engineers who use Alphacam to program the tool paths

[@grhinson]

Reminds me of chocolate

[@hiataiklima719]

Helloooo Where Can i buy the same robot 3D ? How much it cost? Thnhs U

[@kriksix]

No idea! More than I could ever afford - I work with a company who own the machines.
