:("Old" robots......
That makes me feel ancient...
I wonder how hard a robot like that is to program compared to a 3 axis cnc.
Did you see the price on the finished stools? $2600 for a small one.
Cnc carved stumps. For $3000. Huh.
Reminds me of a Warner Brothers Cartoon, making trees into toothpicks.
thats alot of money for a chunk of wood
Pretty neat looking when its finished, but holy crap that's an obscene amount of money! I guess they're charging a "robot premium" :confused:
"Theres a sucker born every minute"
I think I have a few of those cheese boards somewhere in my scrap pile. :D

Hmm. I think I can turn those out for $2500 per... :)
It looks similar to some of the grinding robots we used in the foundry. Most were 6-axis, one was 7-axis. The seventh axis was for the robot to translate on the floor. It was pretty cool to watch one of ABB's biggest robots move along the floor gringing a casting and throwing sparks 30 feet up into the rafters!
Our's all had safety cages so you couldn't get too close without disabling the robot. We had software for teaching it the program offline, then you only had to fine tune it, minimizing downtime.
