One of the things I've seen over the years is a switch mechanism the robot passes the part over that triggers an input which satisfies whatever value you've set. So if it passes the part over the switch when it should or shouldn't, then you can program a different routine if that occurs.
Fascinating as usual. I am surprised how fast those robots are; to maintain such precision and get up to 2 m/s the acceleration / deceleration profiles must be quite impressive.
That is awesome. It's always interesting to see what people come up with for unscrewing cores. The robot setup is also an interesting answer. Every one seems to have different things on hand to work with. With all the low run and prototype stuff, have you ever looked at MUD Units or the piles of knock offs? Thanks for the videos!
Hi Max, In this case I don't need mold cooling since polycarb mold temp is 240 F. with the low runs, and high temp setting the mold dissipates the extra heat energy
Thank you for another great video. Do you have safety concerns working around the robots? All the ones I've been around have been in cages, heavily interlocked or behind light curtains. Please be safe :)
Thanks for watching. I am also always concerned about robot safety. That is why the panic button in on the controller. I also went to KUKA integration classes to be safe.
How would i get into doing a job like this? I have an acoustic engineering degree that i didn't pursue, but now i tinker with arduino's in my spare time, would i have to go back to uni?
It is hard to say, depends on if you want to get hired by a larger corp. if so then yes usually you need a 4 year degree, if you start your own business then start buying equipment and you will naturally will self teach. Most of what you see me doing is self taught.
Hi Leonelf, when programming the robot work cell, the trained integrator (programmer) is typically inside the work cell to setup the program in most cases, usually with their finger on the panic button on the hand controller. The cage is used to keep everyone else out of the work cell. As the KUKA trained integrator, I know where the danger zones are as I program them in. When done, I can close the clean room door with a estop trigger. Thanks for watching!
Each episode gets more complex. I'm glad I've been watching your channel most of this year so I understand how you got to what you are doing here.
Thanks for watching Cris, I plan to go far with this channel
Well, that's cool. The mold itself is so much simpler than even a simple slide with angled guide pins and all that stuff. Thanks.
Thanks! I try to keep it simple to take these prototype jobs.

cool, I will look into that. Thanks for watching
Great insight, impressive use of an Arduino, rather than a PLC, or mini PLC.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Haha, i remember clipping mountains of sprues off parts. Oh joy. Great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these videos and explain the process. Really interesting stuff!
thanks for watching Gary
Fascinating, binge watching your channel.
Amazing work!
Can you dry cycle the core pull / un-thread? I'd love to see that in action.
Ok, next time I run that set of molds. Thanks for watching!

yes ,they are fast, I still can't figure out how they are so accurate!
Awesome.
Please mount GoPro on the robot.
Ok, next time I will try to. Thanks for watching
man i would love to work with you i have watch alot of your videos and you have so much knowledge !
Super cool
thanks!
Wonderful Job!
Iam a tool maker and just subscribed 👍

Thanks Steve. I have looked at MUD inserts, but most of my prototype molds are so simple that they are basically as simple as inserts.
I enjoy your videos. Just one small question, do you not need to cool the mold?
Hi Max, In this case I don't need mold cooling since polycarb mold temp is 240 F. with the low runs, and high temp setting the mold dissipates the extra heat energy
@@DragonflyEngineering I haven't seen a mold without cooling, so thank you.
Great! Thanks!
Thanks Len!

How about using a hot runner so you don't need to cut the sprue ?

More videos like this! :)

Why the white robot? Why not just drop the part?
I plan to do more work with the part in the future, such as assembly or bagging. Thanks for watching!
Why are you standing near moving robots? I thought these were in a seperate area inaccessible to humans when turned on?

@@DragonflyEngineering Sorry if I confused you: I mean the intro scene, where the robots are swirling around in the air.
Henry Ford would of loved it.
Yes, I think so, thanks!
