I've used Fanuc Robots to tend my CNC tool grinding machines for over 20 years. They are amazing. I'm happy to see you present this content. More people need to get on board if they want to compete.
The way you explain something is awsome I notice on key words that you want people to remember you change the tone and speed of your voice this is why you have a flourishing company . Amazing job man thank you
I'm a CNC machinist that happen to be working on a big Fanuc robot welder, using the old style pendant briefly shown on the video and I love how it looks this new one! I guess is not for all applications, but it looks so much more intuitive.
2:48 "this is NEW drag and drop technology" BOOM baby! 😂 I worked with collaborative robots, they will have a huge impact especially for medium-small industries.
At Rolls-Royce here in the U.K. we had a dedicated in-house seminar to discuss how we could introduce more robots into our production processes. This was driven by the reduction in the unit cost per robot arm and the relative simplicity associated with creating the programming and integration. These factors will ensure that adoption robots will fundamentally go hand in hand with modern CNC machine shops. Great video Titan.
Amazing to see how much easier it is today versus 20 years ago. Back then everything had to be manually entered in to teach the robot to move. My how times have changed.
This looks very similar to a Universal Robotics robot we have tending to a lathe. The Fanuc looks likes like it is much more intuitive to program. Cool robot.
Hey Titan why not you add more metal forming process machines beside robots, CNC mills/turns... Like bending, furnaces etc and making smaller 2-5Axis CNC Machines or routers for milling metals
In a machine shop you use it to load and unload parts to your cnc machine so it can run for many hours without operator intervention. For example it can run the night shift all by itself. The one in the video is missing the gripper that holds the parts.
Holy cow! I've been saying for years, how come they can't make a robot arm that you move to each spot by hand and save each step. That's awesome! So much easier!
Wow 8 years without maintenance is steler durability. Ide have thouggh every 6 months all the joints would need disassembling and cleaning and re lubricating. What have you in stor for this bot buddy
Jay Pierson has a mini-series about adding a Universal Robots arm to their shop. Very similar product so it's a good example of how they can be used, very useful for lights out machining since the robots can keep loading/unloading parts.
When he was still in his diapers, his parents opened the diaper and were shocked at the large load. They say "What is that??!!" and he said "BOOM!!!". And a legend was born that day.
I think I prefer the old Teach Pendant over this. Especially since it is touchscreen. Are they going to implement this for every Fanuc robot or only the CR series? Great job, though, Titan. Really bringing modern machining to the masses.
You can flip back and forth on the tablet to the traditional teach pendant software. The drag and drop software sits on top of the traditional software. The drag and drop program makes a traditional teach pendant program. The pendants may be interchangeable on some robots, but I'd rather have a traditional pendant for most applications, they're far more robust.
Alot of people are down on these Robots. But for me honesty. I would buy a robot way before employing any staff. Why ? Because they don't turn up at work with hang overs, bad attitudes or problems at home. Best part is this robot will be working while i am at home eating dinner, LOL. Another plus. 1 years wages will pay for this robot outright. NO more i don't feel well today i can't come into work ????
@Erik Slagter It looks like you're about right price wise. After checking the various prices you can actually buy the Fanuc top end robots costing over $400,000 plus. You can also find numerous videos on the CRX Series model that Titan bought.
Dealing with robots is very, very dangerous and one really can't emphasize enough how fast they can move and with how much power. It'll crack your bones clean in two if you get too comfortable. Only very recently have robots began to be safer around people with all the sensors and what not, but something can still fail and then it's the robot who's going to win. And I'd be very cautious with a new robot out of the box... Obviously it defaults to slow movement when using the pendant, but it's so easy to make a dumbheaded mistake and get cleaved in half. That's why they're usually programmed by professionals.
