great video- it suddenly was on but didn't get to see what you did with x11 wiring/dummy. we have the exact same robot but need help figuring out which pins to jump.
Can you please also do a "Getting started with WorkVisual software". I think its a nightmare without sufficient documentation or coverage in youtube. I have no idea how to use it for actual programming and I am just barely able to use it for mapping I/O-s.
I would love to, but it's a very broad piece of software that has to be so specific for each project. I'm not sure I could do an intro to workvisual that would be safe and good enough to ensure I don't cause more problems than I solve. I have similar issues with other robotic techniques that are so project specific that safety comes into play. But never say never...
do you actually need a cage for the robot or is there a way to circumvent this? i really like this robot, but building a cage would totally defeat its purpose for me
An industrial arm requires a suitable mounting position, these things can move around 2 metres in a second. ONE SECOND! There is no "cage" in this setup. Traditionally, an industrial robot requires a safety cell.
I still don't understand how those robots can be so expensive. Think of all the components that go into a 20k$ car. And think of all the components that go into this. Include harmonic drives and whatnot, the price still seems immense.
They are not cheap, but they are also highly complicated machines running on very specific software. Now I have absolutely no insight or knowledge on KUKA's inner-workings, but from what I can gather, they don't make all that much profit on the hardware. Plus, thats the US price from a reseller, I reckon you could get this model quite a bit cheaper if you talk to a KUKA sales rep.. ;)
The robots MAKE the cars. One car body takes about a minute to produce. They are insanely precise. The repeatability is +- 0.02 mm. That is way less than the thickness of a sheet of paper. And they maintain this precision for many years. There are many KUKA robots running for ten years without any maintenance. And the controller & SmartPad are included. Seems like a good deal now, right ?
@@XiaoP76 Not really. A car of the equivalent cost still has like 100 times more moving parts. And more precise parts too for that matter. The fact that they "make" the cars isn't really a point. A 10 $ screwdriver also "makes" the cars. A 20 million $ press machine also does. The main cost cause is the scale of production. If you search for robot factory videos, they still assemble them mostly by hand. Which could seem paradoxical. But its obvious that the makers did the math and found out that assembling them by hand is more cost effective, since giant automated factories that make a robot per minute are just not needed. Its just that the car market is much much bigger than the robot market, which makes automation worth it, which drives costs down. The robot itself isnt actually more complicated or more precise when it comes to the actual components. Nor are its electronics higher-tech than a "car brain", especially nowadays. The car also certainly contains parts that are decades ahead of a robot when it comes to material science. I mean, my first comment was dumb, cause the cost differences do make sense. But not because the robots are actually more technologically advanced than an equivalent costing car.
@@KarlSingline Smart man! I'm interested in your company, what is it that you do? Produce how to and similar videos on Kukas? Provide consultations? Or something else? It's really cool.

Very nice video Karl, it save my life i will install a KUKA KR10 in a few weeks and i was lost of how to do it, thanks !!!

this will be handy in a couple weeks when santa claus comes with my robot

Nice X11 Dummy :) P.S Would love a tutorial on your MX adventures.
they're coming.. very soon!
I would like to know more about this dummy.

Where did you find that base plate that mounts between the (80/20) like frame and the robot.
We made it
is there a robot programming setup before jumping to grasshopper and give the robot the codes?
not really, the control pc runs KRL, where the KRL is generated doesn't matter.
Did you know that you can twist the yellow part on the robot power cable to lock it?
Yes, but good tip, should of included it in the video! By the way its called the "motor cable" and the other is designated the "data cable" ;)
You could run it in auto for a moment to see the speed.
new screen is very slow and freezes when water comes on it
very nice unboxing but the voice wasn't clear
Yes. I've since upgraded my audio device after this one!

If millions of people bought these things, they would get a lot cheaper very quickly.

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , robot arm gear , automation gear joint , over 30 years experience ,
anychance you sell these mounts?
Unfortunately not
@@KarlSingline Thanks for the reply! Any guides or videos on how to create the base you are using?
@@8oasty well it's just aluminium extrusion custom made to whatever specifications we need per robot.. Nothing too interesting.
You gotta get mic'd up bro if you're gonna mumble into the camera with such a strong accent. Lol.
I bought a lapel mic after this video!

be careful when the robot wants to reduce speed urgently
