Process of robot Milling a Styrofoam Landscape Model

[@joshwarner5676]

I love the use of one robot to track and film the other robot

[@lignumchannel]

now that I've tried it, I love it too! :D

[@xyvernthederg5760]

add googly eyes on it when it uses a camera to make it 20x better

[@evgeniydeus8137]

One hella expensive steadicam)

[@DanielH]

Having fun with robots, expensive robots 👍

[@lignumchannel]

I have to make some fun out of an ordinary day.. :D

[@dukeengine1339]

And the music is simply wonderful...

[@lignumchannel]

Glad you like it Duke!

[@Lex.Dachstein]

Very cool stuff. I am frequently using 3-axis CNCs in a Makerspace, and through that, I got the desire to use an industrial robot for wood carving large pieces. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no knowledge of how to do that. Can you recommend materials, books, websites, or manuals that explain how to use a KUKA robot for milling?

[@ОлегГриднев]

Приятно смотреть на работу шикарной техники!

[@Kathod]

Using the second bot to record the first one was fun to watch :)

[@lignumchannel]

It was fun trying it out too!😁

[@CrankyPantss]

That was very entertaining. I’m surprised you got the foam so smooth. Very cool video.

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you! After many models I found out a secret recipe of milling speeds, rpms, stepover and feeding types to get a this frosty glazing ;)

[@siagstas5535]

Again very nice... a robot moving (dancing) to a (vienna) waltz...

[@ellieboa]

i like the robot filming!

[@lignumchannel]

I can't afford a human cameraman ;)

[@FromTheHeartWoodMK]

Super cool, I've seen stuff like this in museums and now have an idea how it's all made!

[@lignumchannel]

I doubt this one will end up there.. 😁 Glad you like it!

[@Yakovlev_Alex]

Штатив для камеры супер!!!

[@lignumchannel]

:D yes it is.

[@peterslegers6121]

I especially liked the scene from 2:16 to 22. You can see by which tool the model was shaped, but you also get a fast and smooth idea of how the landscape model turns out.

[@lignumchannel]

Glad you like it Peter! :D

[@oakleyjack7600]

Every time you experiment, the more value your Company gains 🤔👍🎩😎

[@lignumchannel]

:D I'm glad you think so Jack!

[@ericdanso2487]

What is the make of this robot ? And is it possible to get a used one Awesome work

[@timberdish]

That was very cool! Nice one :D

[@lignumchannel]

Thanks Matt! 😀

[@sheldon...]

wow, more that's a bit different to normal (both on the terrain carving and the use as a camera arm) I also particularly liked the evolution of the dust extraction 😆

[@lignumchannel]

Improvisation is my best buddy ;)

[@bailey2829]

From a software standpoint, how do you run these robotic arms? Do they just take standard gcode, or did you have to do some fanciness to get them to run like a CNC?

[@lignumchannel]

I use irbcam software, it works just like regular cnc, some tricks to it but nothing special..

[@jesperhagstrom]

Fascinating! What CAM software do you use to generate the tool paths? I imagine it's pretty rare to use industrial robots like these for milling?

[@lignumchannel]

:) Yes it is, especially in Croatia.. I Use rhinocam for rhinoceros.

[@modustrial]

SO SO COOL! Did you mount your camera on the second robotic arm for some of those shots?

[@lignumchannel]

Yes I did! I'm just sorry I didn't use it much before.. Hey btw, I'm starting with my house project next week, mostly in thermal brick and concrete. A lot of gfrc for wall panels and other elements so I'm sure I'l need a lot of advice, please get ready for me boring you with questions😁

[@shivaargula4735]

Question: When you have a machine with this much DOF, why does the tool always stay vertical? If it tilted along with the angle of the cut, wouldn't the surface quality increase a lot?

[@lignumchannel]

Not really because no matter how you tilt, the ball end will still be ball touching in a single point. I try not to use it if I don't have to because it's much more time consuming to program but in some cases where reach is an issue I use it..

[@simoncawthan9919]

Nice time lapse and tracking shots :) What speeds and feeds did you find worked best for styrofoam? I've got a moonscape to make on my cnc and having a starting point would be great. Not looking forwards to the mess though...

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you! For this one I used 12mm serated 3 flutes flat end for roughing. 150mm/s 45mm level depth at 200 hertz, stepover 11mm. For finishing it was 16mm ball end at 250hertz. Stepover 2mm, climbing, 80mm/s feed. Fast speed 500mm/s in both roughing and finishing. I must say this was pretty rough and and on the edge of what I would use. When I build guitars for example, feeds, stepover and depths are at about one third than they are here..

[@staylame]

A M A Z I N G ! How do you measure the offset for each tool?

[@lignumchannel]

I lower them to zero plane and take the reading. Glad you like it! :D

[@RokitScientist1987]

I see Lignum, I share, like and subscribe

[@lignumchannel]

😁you better!

[@PumpiPie]

Whats the price for the robot? :D

[@martharodriguezyvariedades]

Dios te ama 🇨🇴🙏🙏

[@flitchi.]

Hi, how many time to do this work pls ? (Milling time) :)

[@lignumchannel]

Somewhere around 7 hours or so..

[@flitchi.]

@@lignumchannel Thank you :) that's fast !

[@niall_o_donovan]

Perhaps the time is coming for me to hang up my Styofoam shaping hand tools 😭 Great video as ever. What would be the largest dimensions (length X breadth X height) the robot can deal with at once?

[@lignumchannel]

😁I'm not sure, robot has range of about 250cm in all directions making a half sphere with diameter of 5meters, what ever can fit in that sphere can be milled.

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

Landscape modeling?? N Gauge? Those semi-ovals off to the side look interesting, what did I miss?

[@lignumchannel]

I might film a short video of those ellipsoids, they will be coffee tables, I'm milling them for the same architect from "Atmosfera" for who this model is. The model is a terrain where small tourist resort with bungalows will be.

[@JosePedroEspinosa]

What is the price of a robot like that?

[@elizabethb913]

How fast do the robots work? How many hours of carving to timelapse into the video?

[@lignumchannel]

This took around 7 hours of milling time but you can do it much faster at the cost of precision and vibrations. This is at the limit for this kind of work. When I mill guitar bodies and necks, it runs at around one quarter speed of this..

[@sethbracken]

Marco Reps wrote a python script to edit out the robot in 3D printing time lapse. I bet you could use it on yours as well.

[@lignumchannel]

I will look into that, thank you Seth! :)

[@idmadera]

Alguien me podría poner en contacto con el fabricante del robot? Gracias

[@antontudor5724]

❤❤❤💪💪💪👏👏👏

[@gregthorne4292]

You all must play some serious games of D&D.

[@lignumchannel]

I must start! :)

[@doubledarefan]

1:55 Why the Z-hop, instead of cutting the next pass on the return?

[@lignumchannel]

Climb and up cut leave diferent textures on the surface so when choosing quality over speed I allways mill in a single direction.

Hello! This is Kuka kr150 krc2 robot.

[@jeffreycollins7297]

And to think those things were once all made by hand.

[@nathanmaddock1703]

What is the purpose of the foam model?

[@lignumchannel]

It's for an architect studio as a base for tourist bungalow estate model.

[@Lobozs21]

Como cuanto cuesta un robot asi? :0

O maquina.

Naked robot can be found for as low as 5k€ in good condition.

You could mill a sunroof on your car with that machine.

I'm sure someone, somewhere is doing just that! :D
