Interesting video. Thanks Jay.

So difficult to get VMC tending sorted. Reloading parts in a vise is much more complicated than we realised. Swarf, slippery parts, checking part is located correctly etc. No wonder I found no UNEDITED videos of UR loading vises in mills.

Amazing. Now they just need to make one with a higher weight capacity. I wonder if the system could handle multiple parts in sequence so you could do multiple ops on the same part?

The main issue with making cooperative (inherently "human safe") robots stronger is that the stronger the robot is, or the faster it moves, the less sensitive it is to hitting squishy humans who get in the way. The RIA spec for a robot to be safe (without fencing, barriers, etc) like the UR is based on the total kinetic energy of the robot+payload at any given moment. So in the eyes of someone with experience with "classic" robots, the URs are small, slow, and painfully underpowered. But where URs *shine* is their inherent safety (which lowers TCO), and their ease of use. All the "big iron" robot brands have multitudes of option packages that are excellent, but they're all *industrial* style -- the "app store" level of "easy mode" just isn't there yet.

Hmmm, this arm would be good to have at the work desk to organise all the tools at the end of the day.

"everything automatically works" mostly. I've run into numerous Polyscope and URCap issues. Also that camera cable is a gigantic pain in the ass. The camera will never connect to the tool port on the existing E-Series robots. It requires a high bandwidth USB connection. The 485 Communications available on the tool part is not enough.
