Mounting an Universal Robot UR5 to our CNC mill

- UR5 meets VM6.
This robot is actually way too small for that machine. But we already bought a used model from 2011 for another purpose in our company and maybe we can find a funny spot, where this tiny friend is still able to the tending for the CNC mill.
This sad robot also was unable to do anything because of an encoder failure in joint 6 which needed to be fixed.
We'll see how it performs over the next weeks.

Zamocować podstawę robota do blaszanej osłony. Mistrzostwo świata. Cud jak ten robot w przedmiot trafi nie mówiąc o jego precyzyjnym umieszczeniu w jakimś imadle.
Zgadzam sie
ciekawe jak długo osłona będzie trzymać kształt :)
That's trick, nice work. Can't wait to see more 👍
Keep the great videos coming!!!
What does a used UR5 from that time period go for these days? I'd use an air cylinder to open and close that door instead of the robot. While it works, it stresses the gearheads in that model quite a bit.
Attach a pneumatic cylinder to that door and integrate into your UR I/O. Not sure if the UR inserts raw stock or just flips after 1st op but if the latter you could just have it wait for cycle finish signal, engage pneumatic cylinder to open door, perform flip, move back to waypoint clearing the door, close pneumatic operated door, cycle start.
That's fantastic!
U doing great thanks for the video I love hass cnc
So, one year later, do you use the robot on the mill as often as you thought? Would you maybe do a follow up?
Nice!
Ok, who buys a $500k CNC mill and doesn’t have it running as much as possible....I’m officially jelly! I wanna fuck around on a Haas!
500k???? are you talking USD?
To be fair the VM6 is only 130k starting. I would love to buy one to mess around with and not focus so much on output, that's the dream!
With every single option it is still less than half of $500k lol...
Wow, extremally awesome. He turns brick, wowowowowo!!! 1 SMC/FESTO 12 mm piston can do the same.
Nice man
How easy has it been for you to integrate automation with this UR on a job to job basis (job shop environment) low/med volume runs like 100 pcs or so…. Easy programming the robot as well? I really would like to know
Interesting, how is robot communicating with cnc? Via custom m codes?
We are on a Haas machine and use their M-Fin interface for simple robot communication ruclips.net/video/_JR9QslpunE/видео.html
Hi. Maybe you can help me.
How do you actuate the robot with signals from the CNC? Do you have robot ready interface?
I'm trying some like this, but with a fanuc robot.
If you can help me, I will appreciate that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
If you are on a Haas machine then I would use one or two of the custom standard relays and use the M-Fin interface for a simple robot communication ruclips.net/video/_JR9QslpunE/видео.html
There are always open M function 12volt DC signals reserved on all machine tools. You have to wire these into the the robots PLC.
Hey mate, what coolant are you running? Looks nice and clear unlike the crap I'm using.
It's Wilke Wicosynt 1126. Since this is our first CNC I can't say whether it's good or bad. It's supposed to have some additives to handle the 70 bar (1000 psi) through tool coolant. IIRC about 6 to 7 EUR per liter (60 liter barrel).
cheers mate. i'll look into getting it over here in Aus.
Could you do some post editing videos/tutorials please
Where I used to work there was an engineer trying to get a robot to work on one of our smaller mills. He never could get it to work I figure he is still trying. Lol
Haha! My UR5 barely reaches in and out of my Haas Mini Mill.
Crazy, the UR5 we've been using has had no problem placing and picking parts from our VF-OE and DT1. Where is your UR5 located in relation to the machine?
you could have had automatic door from haas instead..! could have saved more time
no good work, hobby
