You did a good job. Robotics is a rewarding career field if you decide to go down that route. Lots of travel but rewarding. Especially the well rounded guys. Machine tool tech pairs well, able to make custom eot's, etc, thats the future man.
Just for Reference 4mm is the same as 5/32 and so you can just get a 1/4 to 5/32 reducer and it plugs right in no need for super glue. the same goes for 8mm and 5/16 most legris fittings give both numbers on them. easiest way to convert back and forth.
Hy Joshua, How u doing! Actually I want to connect pneumatic system with UR 10 Arm. We want to do our manufacturing automatically and for that I need your suggestions. Thanks
That’s a great design, you should sell it! I work for a UR distributor in San Diego and we have a few customers looking for a solution like that to mount it. We will sometimes use a 7th axis but I think this would sell pretty well.
@@joshuayoungers that’s killer. Ive been machining for 10 years , a lot of manual / prototype work. Any good resources to get started , lol , my g-code skills dont click very well, computer language is hard for me, other than the basics.
Autodesk Fusion 360 and is where I started. If you can learn the CAM tools and let a computer do the heavy lifting, programming will become much faster and as you look up codes you will recognize and understand them.
100% agree, I get the basics of course. Been programming Mastercam for 10 years but I’ve always let the code do the job and I haven’t gotten into sub programs and some of those fancier programs using variable sub routines . I think the computer now how definitely helps translate that a lot easier !
@@joshuayoungers for someone with zero exposure to pneumatics your answer didn't help me one bit. other than knowing where to buy, but I still have no clue what to buy. how about a basic video on pneumatics and what you used with part numbers and some basic details on why you selected which components you did use. I'm sure a lot of your core audience would love to know how to do this with a little more detail.
1. I have a wire connected to the light stack on the machine. That wire turns a relay that is plugged into the robot controller. 2. CNC programs are pretty consistent on time so a timer can be programmed on the controller for the cycle time.
Hey Joshua, would you mind sending me the cads also? I'm a student from an enineerring school in Montreal called ETS and I've looked everywhere for a good base that does not get in the way of the user! Yours looks promissing:) I just added you on Linked in
Great work Joshua! Really helpful for those getting started with UR & CNC. Love to see your programming video if you find time.

That's the plan. Thanks for the support

Hi Joshua, please make the video on the electric connection and sensor signaling you did in this video I would love to watch it.
Excellent work! Keep it going!
I'd love to see more about this project!
would love to see the programming!
didn't know Shroud moonlights in robot mounting and setup!
great work very impressed with your video editing and detail 10/10
PHD Grippers are by far the best grippers on the market!
Great work Joshua!... really a nice and helpful video... learned a lot from it. Will it be possible to get the CAD file for the swivel stand.
Hy Joshua,

Great video!
Hey, thank you for the awesome video! Do you have a link or a name for the swivel stand you used to mount the robot?
I designed it, I could send some cad files if you're interested

Glad you like it, Im just trying to open source my ideas to get my name out there while I'm in college. After that I will consider selling them
I watched both your videos, you know alot about the programming side of things . You learn a lot of the computer and coding side from school?
I'm a mechanical engineering student but I've been programming in various languages since early highschool.. including g-code.

Buy the book "CNC Programming using Fanuc custom macro B," this is my second machining "Bible," after Machinery's Handbook.@@CatsofCapeAnn
How did you connect the solenoid to the robot controller so that it can send the 24v signal and activate the relay?
Each side of the solenoid is connected directly to a digital output and ground on the robots I/O block.
How about some more info on the auto door cylinders? need to do the same but cant find them
I put it together myself, BIMBA has a pretty good selection. You can build a cylinder with the options you want on their website.

How does the robot know when the workpiece is done?
1. I have a wire connected to the light stack on the machine. That wire turns a relay that is plugged into the robot controller. 2. CNC programs are pretty consistent on time so a timer can be programmed on the controller for the cycle time.
why cant u use the fanuc controller as an input taking the machine parameter using FOCAS API so that u can avoid the wiring@@joshuayoungers
Joshua, if you could send me the cad files I would like to build 3 of them, I am installing 3 robots in the next 2 months.
Sure thing, connect with me on LinkedIn

I cringe when I see you mixing imperial with metric. I think you should bite the bullet and go with the rest of the world --- metric only !!.
😂 I don't like it either but for now I'm stuck with both.
Smart and hot? This guy is it!
dude you need a pair of flush cuts for zip ties. those long ass ragged ends are bullshit.
Lol, I keep length on the robot ties so I can tighten them down more after it's run a few hours so it only has as much line as it needs.
