Bender Defeats KUKA...Sort of!




 Jawwad doin' his thang!



Originally scanned polysurface


This was the draped surface we would use on the CNC Router


ROUTE IT!


This is the face almost done, just a few more passes






 All finished! We decided to run part of the code before painting the face, just in case we ran into some difficulties (which we inevitably did)


KUKA meet your tool professor!


We tried to be as exact as we could when teaching the robot the tool, to reduce the possibility of inaccuracy


The lowest margin of error we managed to achieve was of 0.974mm


Before running the surface code, we ran a secondary script that had the four corner points marked out so we could position the face as exact as possible




The weird thing was that the left side of the face ran without any problems, at this point we were all excited since the previous week we were unable to get the code to work. However, KUKA would fight back at an attempt to ruin our day


Turns out the right side of the face was a little too close to the robot, and it caused Axis 3 to lock up


The right side was not liking our code so we re-did it and got this:
