Simple Okuma Tool Life Counter
I find the tool life counter that comes with Okuma machines a little hard to understand and work with, especially with no spare tooling. So instead I built my own control logic to use the counter table and a subprogram to deliver simple life management.

Robot Welds its own Mount
มุมมอง 9833 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm not the best welder but I can program a robot. In this video I had a UR10 weld a critical mounting bracket to its own table so that the control box could tucked away and elevated off the ground. Robot: UR10e Robot Software version: 5.14 #universalrobots #robotics #programming #welding
Programming robotic Weld Algorithms
มุมมอง 1.5K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, I demonstrate a few programs I wrote for robotic welding. The programs use just a few waypoints and can draw different welding patterns. I got this idea after watching many Smooth Tool videos and wondering how they made it so easy. I decided to try it for myself and this is what I came up with. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below. Thanks for watch...

This is my trick for enabling WIFI on any Okuma CNC instead of running ethernet. Use caution if replicating and ensure drivers are compatible with your OS version and system. #automation #iot
Efficient Programming for UR Robots
มุมมอง 21Kปีที่แล้ว
There are resources out there for how to program individual parts of a UR robot so in this video I show my own complete program that I use for our lathes. I try to make my programs as productive as possible and constantly try new things in hopes to find better strategies but this programming style has run for months on this machine with minimal issues. Hope you like it. Robot: UR10e Robot Softw...

We programmed our Okuma L3000 to catch parts with the tailstock, now I'm just going to clean the code up a little. Timestamps 0:00 Problem solving 13:40 Code structure recap 14:30 Running a test
You put a mexican there and tell him what to do , you wont have to go through all this programming hassle to pick part from this turning machine 👨🔧
didn't know Shroud moonlights in robot mounting and setup!
Great video! is there any chance you can upload the programs to be downloaded and edited without rebuilding from the start?
Hi Joshua, please make the video on the electric connection and sensor signaling you did in this video I would love to watch it.
Hi Josh, I am trying to replicate your setup but I keep encountering a compile error, "Compile error: name 'start' is not defined" or in the case of trying to run the stitch pattern it returns the error for 'Waypoint_2'. Did you encounter an error like this while programming and can you advise on how to resolve?
I don't think I ran into errors like that. And you have the moveJ section after a halt? Maybe remove start from the three below and making the moveL start definitely defined?
The people you know who do weld are lying to you. You need friends that are brutally honest and not just please your feelings
Thanks for sharing! Great work creating the program & adapting your welder to the UR. Keep up your journey and please continue to share. It is inspiring for the rest of us!
Hy Joshua, How u doing! Actually I want to connect pneumatic system with UR 10 Arm. We want to do our manufacturing automatically and for that I need your suggestions. Thanks
hey, take a look at mircronics sls printer, its roughly 3k....yeah Three not 33 or something similar
Hi Josh, Thx for your interesting videos. When you set up the UR on the lathe you used a swivel base. Can you point me to the manufacturer of these bases, since i couldn't find anything. Best Martin
Sure, I actually designed and build those myself. It would be diy but I have drawings I would be willing to share.
This is how I wanted to spend my morning, love these videos keep it up
I don’t understand feature Plane. How to set ? How to use?
Planes can be set up in the installation tab under features, then there is a teach plane button and it's pretty simple to set one. The way I use them is to keep track of an area or section of program that may move. In the case of this video, all moves inside the machine are set relative to the main spindle. If something happens and I have to reset the location of the robot base. Instead of going back through the program and redefining each waypoint, I just reset the feature based on the main spindle and I'm done. I'm working on a video currently that is all about plane manipulation so if this doesn't explain it hopefully that will!
@@joshuayoungers Thank you. and I have to know feature Conveyer tracking too. Please explained it to me. Thank you.
Mounting directly to the face of the robot always causes issues.
I cringe when I see you mixing imperial with metric. I think you should bite the bullet and go with the rest of the world --- metric only !!.
😂 I don't like it either but for now I'm stuck with both.
I am curious how you justify this as a safe deployment in accordance with ISO 15066 standard?
Almost all the movement is in a transient zone and when near possible pinch points the robot speed is sensing for pressure and at very low speed. The operator works well outside the reach of the robot with clear access to its controller. These robots have set inertial limits as well so even if a high speed is programmed, the payload is taken into account and speed is reduced automatically. I mean there are a lot of factors here on why I believe it is safe, is there something you saw that concerned you?
@@joshuayoungers the EOAT is operating at head/ neck level at a speed greater the 250mms. The machine door or lathe chucks are also not force or power limited. There is nothing stopping someone from being in those restricted zones during automatic operation.
Ah, for reference the spindles are just above waist level, the perspectives recorded make it appear higher. The machine cannot run without the doors shut and there is a table in the way probably not shown in the video.
A good tip is to think of a 3D printed part as if it were made from wood. Wood is extremely strong as long as the forces applied to it are against the grain, apply forces with the grain... and it will easily shear.
That's an interesting take, I'll remember that. I was taught to treat it like concrete, try and keep it in compression as much as possible.
I’ll buy that adapter or drawling from you.
I need to see how these robots hold up to abuse and long term use in a real shop where crashes happen.
Great design of the EOAT mount! By the way, mounting the (UR) robot on a 45-deg platform also solves the singularity problem. This is common on many mobile machine-tending platforms.

Nice work! Just noticing the cart face seems like it is raw aluminum, I wouldn't bet that if your parts are even made out of mild steel that you wont start wearing the surface of plate which you have the sandpaper affixed to. Depends on volume, material, relative force, etc but you might start dishing out that area and might cause you issues. I say might because being in the industry I have seen and done some rather hokey things that absolutely do work and never presume I know best. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and what you're learning as you go!
Make the jaw out of a .250” piece of aluminum angle, then just print a soft jaw that has the curved surface and lip, printed part will be 100% in compression with no bending and can be changed for different size stock.
great work very impressed with your video editing and detail 10/10
just print it like you did before and use a screw to compress the layers
Smart work, Industry 4 at its best! thanks for sharing
I'm working to intergrate robot arm automations in a tissue culture lab and this kind of stuff is a huge help, if not direct help then at the least inspiration. Instant sub!
I need to start posting some of my projects, i did all my integration as well, my okuma lathe is one of the next ones on my list, but i think a 5 axis is going to get it first. Im working on having my ur3 do a burr beaver operation now, and i may incorporate this as well. Thanks and keep up the good work
We started using abs-cf for our grippers, we found the same, put the layer lines aligned with the load drastically increased the strength, and the slight deformation actuall grips better than our aluminum jaws
Cool demonstration man! As far as the setup and integration of the cobot to the lathes goes, did you do all of that yourself or did you have any professional assistance? Could you point me to any resources you found as far as integration goes? I've watched a few of your other cobot videos like the one with the auto door hookup and was curious if you pulled the whole project off yourself or not. Thanks in advance!
Haha glad you like it. Yes, I design, plan, and integrate every project I have done (working on #5 now). I've had help a few times when connecting machine I/O, welding bases, and getting ideas on how good material flow would look for a project. Lack of resources is why I started posting about my projects. There are videos out there but not many that dive deep.
Beef up ur vertical angel support to eliminate flex 😉
Why not just do 100% infill?
The strength of most infill patterns taper off around 70%. Don't get me wrong it is a little stronger but will easily double the print time. A few tricks like what I did here or more outer layers can make it comparable without using up so much material.
@@joshuayoungers Why not make some jaws out of aluminum that will easily outlast anything you can print?
Dude that’s awesome, also I used to do robotics is that the robot that is meant for working around people? I remember seeing them at a show and it handed me a pen and he told me to get in the way of its path and it was scary at first but it stopped for me lol.
Yep, they are completely safe to work around without rails. I've been hit a few times and it stops every time. If the payload is really heavy it might sting a little but I've never been bruised. Glad you like the vid.
hi every one , my Okuma mc5va is showing 112 hydraulic motor over load alarm , can any body help , our back side contactor is not even moving .
Man this is amazing. I’m studying automation and robotics and we work with the UR3, the smallest version of this robot. I would love to see you post more videos about how you solve problems and programming errors. 🙌🏼 greetings from Spain!
If you have programed to shut down your machine during the night. you should shut down your compressor too,
You did a good job. Robotics is a rewarding career field if you decide to go down that route. Lots of travel but rewarding. Especially the well rounded guys. Machine tool tech pairs well, able to make custom eot's, etc, thats the future man.
That's the plan. Thanks for the support
hi friend, with the times that are running and the speed that you have to make the pieces on the turner it seems to me to be a slightly slow but nevertheless intelligent way, at least here in Italy
"Any Okuma CNC" is a bold statement. It is also very untrue.
Nice video. Can you let me know what light sensor you use?
gg
Great work Joshua!... really a nice and helpful video... learned a lot from it. Will it be possible to get the CAD file for the swivel stand.
I quickly realized this doesn’t apply to the old POS Haas SL20 from 2000 I’m currently working on. 😂
Nice job and getting the WiFi setup. I have a few recommendations. You can install the USB Wi-Fi dongle behind the monitor. If you open up the panel PC, there are two available USB ports on the motherboard. This way you can keep the dongle out of your front ports. There is a better way to get to your network folders. If you go to DNC-T1 settings which is under the gear icon, vertical key. You can set up a folder location in your edit operations mode. Finally if you want to display your set up sheets easily, you could use the “Job Data” OSP Widget app this is already installed on your machine. For further info go to your OSP Suite Operations manual.
Just find you:) Keep the good work!
PHD Grippers are by far the best grippers on the market!
It would be faster and easier to bolt on a catch wire right on the turret.
What would you do with it while it makes the next one, just curious? I have done that before but only when catching a single and didn't need to index after the cutoff.
probably at end of cycle just remove the part, also that would avoid any interference or damage with the next part. @@joshuayoungers
Great video!! Is there a possibilty u can show us the relais setup with the cnc controller to the UR system?
Thanks for this great introductory tutorial.
Very informative video. I’m currently doing an Internship on a Ur3 robot arm. They want me to enable the robot make some cut (more or like writing task). How do you think I should go about such task?
Two grippers angled at 45 degrees each is even better. That way you can have two grippers with different finger configurations, to grip the stock and finished part, and you only have to tilt it 90 degrees instead of turning 180 degrees.
