I'm fairly sure those pads are made by Fairlane: www.fairlaneproducts.com/store/pc/Workholding-Positioning-c886.htm They appear to be part#HS-75-C or HS-75-C-EF. Several other lines of Fairlane products are carried by McMaster but often not the complete line. McMaster's prices don't seem very different from FixtureWorks' so the convenience of McMaster wins unless you need non-stocked components, which McMaster may be able to order for you. No affiliation, etc.
Nice solution. KISS principle. The VF2 seems to be ideally suited to that size product. You’ve done a nice job of sizing your machine tools to your operation. This robot makes a nice addition to your shop. Since nobody seems to make a powered edge clamp (at least the big guys) there seems to be a void you can fill. I don’t think you are the only one trying to hold a flat plate to a mill table.
I forgot to mention to "like, comment and subscribe". Therefore the algorithm doesn't like me :( If only our viewers could do something about that.... ;)
When you grab the robot to move it around to show the 3D printed cable management brackets you made it looks so flawless. I assume you are holding the button on the pendant each time. That must be so slick!
Jay- How about a video of the UR10 cycling mini pallets in and out of a machine? I want to go lights out at some point and see transitioning my workholding to pallets as key. Thanks for all you do!
We get similar gripper components from essentra for our fixtures as we machine a lot of castings. Over those i would actually prefer a spherical contact point being that its an extruded surface. But im not too familiar with vacuum chucks. That pallet system should make changeover fast tho! Only thing you need left for the haas is BTS and you could be lights out lol.
Also, i would reccommend adding some small details to your vaccum plate for x and y locating. The robot can push the parts against the bumps. Same scenario for contact points. 3 points makes a plane but you truly only need 2 for a line there. That will make location more repeatable and reduce variation.
Fantastic video. as for the cable/air line management on these robots, I've seen standard coiled air line used along with velcro cable ties, velcro closure cable tubes with the velcro cable ties, and adhesive cable tracks on the arm tubes themselves with the joints left open. Just coil the coiled air line around the tube, wrap it and the cable with the spiral wrap of appropriate size or velcro type. All work, some look better than others, love the printed versions y'all did. There are all kinds of versions for industrial applications, but at this size robot and application, usually are overkill and EXPENSIVE. Look at the Igus Triflex track (has some really nice band clamps for these robots), the WizardGear Cable Management systems (all inclusive avail), Panaduit makes some - but I kinda like the version that you have printed with the Techflex Flexio style using just a simple tie wrap or a velcro band clamp style - which I usually stitch to the velcro bands. Not a critique at all of how you have them managed, but just info for others whom may be doing something similar.
Awesome! Although you could have also included three gripping pyramid plates on the gripper. You know, for better process reliability in x-y movement ;)
HAHA. "Imported from McMasters". I thought this was new code for imported from Ch***. I'm glad you cleared this up for my wondering mind. In the meantime I missed a few minutes of the video as my mind needed restarting. I had to rewind and pickup what I missed. Whew! This armchair design is exhausting....... BTW, great video. I am looking forward to seeing this mechanical employee "produce".
Need AI built in so machinist can just set a box full of cut stock pieces down randomly within reach of the robot and robot instinctively recognizes "these are the pieces of stock for this program"
How did you wire the "Fixture Clamp Input"? I followed Haas's documentation. I'm using a vacuum switch. I'm trying to set the same thing and it doesn't recognize a closed switch. The alarm rings no matter what. Are you on NGC or CHC? 🙏
Not sure you can call it finished if you didn't test it. Well, hope that's not the last of the series. I like it, but the title here is a little deceiving
The gripper pads we used from McMaster-Carr: www.mcmaster.com/31305a46
do you have a PN for those vacuum switches?

Impressive stuff, good video 🤓

Whens the next video coming out? You left me on the edge of my seat waiting to see how everything is going to come together!
You guys are doing an excellent job with these videos. Can't wait for Ep. 6.
Just got started with UR at out school. The 3D printed hose manager is great!

Awesome video production. I’m surprised the algorithm hasn’t picked this up and gotten a lot more views yet. Keep at it and I’m sure it will happen.

Great series. I definitely need to whip up some of those cable holders. Keep up the good work!

Great video, thanks for taking time to show the details. It looks like the pyramid features are key to this type of work holding.
This and all your videos are simply AWESOME.!!! God bless you.
Excellent video.Your shop is inspirational.
Genius move on 3d printing those cable guides. I'm sure UR would love to sell those!
Very nice integration! I have been a system integrator for UR since 2015 and I love seeing such well thought out integrations.

Innovating my production meant getting a quick change tool post for my 1946 Myford ML7
Waiting for the next video! Liked, subscribed, now commented :)
Dude...Sick intro!

Like your video!
Maybe I'm slow, but can't find that next episode, where we see it all in action. It did not kill you, did it???
What a cliffhanger‼️
The whole time I was like "why didn't he just start with using his own stuff"
Hi Jay, can you share the model of the cable guide model? thanks
Hmmm, my Fusion360 UI looks different. Nice color marks!
You could require the robot to confirm that the gripper has vacuum as well as the workholding does not have vacuum. By the way where is episode 6 ??
With the pallet on the 3 points of contact, do you get any deformation when the vacume pulls it down?
What music did. U use
Is there any way you would share the model of those cable guides with me?
How much does the workpiece have to cost to make this design profitable ?

Here are a couple walk-through videos for both versions: NGC czcams.com/video/7jAFptwj004/video.html Classic: czcams.com/video/0t1eVRuEBt0/video.html
@@PiersonWorkholding Holy crap, thank you so much! I didn't realize the input# was not the same as the P## on the I/O board itself.
I beleive those pads are from CarrLane www.carrlane.com/en-us/product/supports-rests-feet/grippers/round-grippers-counterbored
Do you have a video on the "3 iteration" thing you mentioned at the start?
Literally shot a video about it today, but it will come out in about 6 weeks. Hopefully worth the wait!
Missing the link from McMaster that you promised for the pads. Awesome video otherwise.
It's pinned as the first comment.
@@PiersonWorkholding weird that comment wasn't there when I watched the video the first time. CZcams app sucks.....
