Fanuc and Siemens, the real world Skynet.
I have two early generation examples of these in the corner of my shop in Adelaide. They are supposed to be a project to get them going again. They are ancient - about 10 years old... I may be getting a bit worn out but I have lasted more than 10 years.
Now if you just turn off the electricity, let's see how well they can work. Cheers
I think the one with the bare saw blade was on battlebots. He is obviously "the boss".
Interesting, I just came across this video series a few days ago. Looks like a viable option for small production shops in high priced labor markets to stay in business, too bad actually if it ever has to come to this.
Btw., this is exactly how the japanese car manufacturers beat the established domestics to pulp in the 70s.
Look at any car production YouTube video and the lack of line workers is remarkable, all replaced by robots which do way better job, don't get bored, need lunch etc.

Everything I like is either illegal, immoral or fattening
Workers may be replaced by robots in some areas but there will be the need to design, fabricate, install and maintain the robots.
Yes and you have now removed all the jobs for the lower socio-economic groups. Let's not kid ourselves. If there was no profit and power from robots, no-one would bother with them. Robot technology is not driven by some higher benevolent philosophy, just plain old greed. Cheers

I'll leave it there I think. To go further with the conversation for me brings in politics and religion (same thing, different branding) as well as economics. Cheers
Every construction obeys the laws of physics. Whether we like or understand the result is of no interest to the universe.
Way too expensive for small shops, and really only an option for very high production.Looks like a viable option for small production shops in high priced labor markets to stay in business,
Quite a few years ago, a friend who works for Fanuc said they were working with Kraftmaid cabinets to automate there face frame production.

Can you imagine one of these machines building a Studley tool chest? Part of the value in something is knowing how much sweat equity went into it.
