We are running two Halter robots on our two Index G200. The first we got around one and a half year ago the other in november last year. They working great and running monday till friday 24 hours a day. Tho far they are realy reliable and very simple to set up.
I bought my first Halter 8 years ago and now I use 4 Halters in my shop now. They are super flexible and my operators love them. So do I. More output and happy operators.👍 Westbrug Techniek
It's a fanuc robot arm with a proprietary Halter software front end on the programming GUI. It's the same on the machine tool, all the servo motors and main NC control are fanuc products with a DN solutions software overlay on the controller. Just like a Briggs and Stratton engine on a Troy built lawn mower.
@@andrew-729 you could put one of these on an Okuma no problem and still have the same functionality as you see in the video. The difference is how the robot system would talk to the machine. Each brand of machine does it a little different so you would have to inquire with Halter as to how they would do it.
Excellent video, Tyson! I always appreciate how clear and concise you are in your videos. 🙂I'm looking forward to seeing more content with the Halter in action!
Absolutely amazing! Beautiful machines! Always great content and tutorials. I love this channel and I’m not a machinist. Only wish I could afford a cnc. We can always dream lol. Thanks for sharing your talents with us
Would love to see the halter setup run shafts let's say 2ft in length. 2in diameter etc. Would be cool to see the whole process how yours preping the stock for center on one etc etc.
a vertical distributer, same thing of liquor distributeur, you can add raw material and better optimisation i think , next stage it's pick bin :) (vision machine)
Little bit expensive for my wood business, I prefer to make my own automation jigs to handle round stock all the time. Thank you for sharing Titan & Tyson.
Why haven't you reviewed the new Harvi IV end mill? I'm reviewing it tomorrow. You telling me I'm going to have a video of the Harvi IV before you!? Thank you!!! I can't wait!!
The robot is meant to do the boring repetitive work while the operator can be doing more creative work in the mean time. You always need an operator to setup the robot. Robots can also work during nights, weekends, hollidays and lockdowns when most people don't. Think of it as addition to the team and not a replacement of someone.
Anyone that can't add more value to what they do will always be at a competitive loss. Increase your added value greater than what happens in India and the lower raw material cost is meaningless. Quality parts on time, every time, can do attitude etc is a winner every where.
@QuebecoisSti I see you know more than the average Joe 👌. Yes, I was referring to the halter hmi. Basically the halter hmi is copying all the operators inputs into the fanuc registers, and these inputs are Basically just offsets to the userframes. So video isn't a 100% accurate. Setup any part in 5 minutes is possible, after the userframes are thought. This is a 1 time process which will be done by the commissioning engineer that comes to install the robot. Btw, I was that guy for a couple years🤙

Is it feasible to run one robot between two lathes one operator and redundant rough tooling, for less stopping?
So what happened to the employees these machines replaced? As you said they run 24 hours a day
@@andrew-729yes it is
That's awesome, INDEX machines are legendary!

They look like fanuc. Are they just rebranded by Halter?

@funwitharobot I assume it still works if you wanted to retrofit an okuma, just less features?

What is the cost of these please?
I dont think none of us actually
appreciate how user friendly and simplified user interface is . Really makes things easy for the system operator .
Yeah Fanuc is the shit.
I always look to incorporate cone locators in processing.
Great systems.
Thank you
looks insanely straightforward to setup. Dang. I love how the barrier to entry on this tech is coming down every year.
We run an Okuma with automation within reach. So nice coming into the shop with a night shift of op1 parts.
Thank you for the video! This is on our roadmap for 2024.
Excellent video, Tyson! I always appreciate how clear and concise you are in your videos. 🙂I'm looking forward to seeing more content with the Halter in action!
What a cool addition to any shop! Great video, great instruction, BOOM SAM!
Can’t wait to see more! Definitely a game changer. Tyson is the perfect person to run this haha 💥💥
These Halter Robotics Cell Systems are Definitely CNC Game Changers! Can't wait to see more!
Insanely simple user interface! Halter is awesome!👏👏
could you make some videos of running SYIL machines and pushing those to the limits
We got a good one that will be out next week 😉
@@TysonGilroy cant wait to see it 😁😁
Wonderful

Automaton BOOM 💥 👌

titan rocks
WoW!

super cool TITAN. greetings from ghana

Pretty cool
In europe we have the robojob system. Which also has a tower system.
We looked at Halter at the last IMTS. They seemed ok but we ended up with Robojob. Which I feel is a much better product.
What about the alineation of the piece, whats the range of tolerance?
Can you guys do a vid on checks to make sure the machine is in working order sucked a tool holder out of the spindle on a Tormach 440 cutting 4142
How can you talk about bringing jobs back, while showcasing the exact thing that would take my job?

Are you only running flat pattern on it? I want to see the one that can load a monilithic piece on a mag 3
Are y'all utilizing the fanuc QSSR macros option for coms to the machine or the Ethernet IP machine interface from Doosan?
Sweeet. Looks like its (wont say idiot proof) simple enough to pickup programming it in a few minutes. Looks great.
Does this robot cell have a PLC to send the data to the robot controller?
Yep
👍👍👍👍👍
almost smacked your controller lol
Wow, you're going to be making a lot of chips.... What's your removed material system look like?
How do they link cycle start to the halter robot
Plc
are these cobots or robots? how is the setup for the visual security cell. what about precision while teaching positions?
These are standard robots. Not cobots
As long as the Indian steel is cheaper than US, they'll always have the manufacturing advantage
Anyone that can't add more value to what they do will always be at a competitive loss. Increase your added value greater than what happens in India and the lower raw material cost is meaningless. Quality parts on time, every time, can do attitude etc is a winner every where.
Raw material cost is just a small part of the big picture.
,just kids😂😂😂😂We have in our company ....since 1995.
Looks like some awful stuff happened to that piece of aluminum 😂, a little chewed up.
Easy peSi
Halter ? Looks like a FANUC rebranded... the pendant looks the same and the robot body as well. Japanese quality.
Yes it's fanuc hardware, but the hmi is what makes it easy to use
@@agent-H83 you mean the software inside the HMI because the HMI (pendant) is pretty much only a touch screen

Hurry up and move to metric 🤣🤣
