The team used the KR C4 Controller which can control both the robot and external axes. Many of this range are already within the RoboDK library.

KUKA KR 120 - The KR120 is a range of KUKA robots all of which have a payload of 120 kg, but with differing reaches.

At the moment, the team is primarily using this setup for architecture research, but Andrew expects that they will soon start using it for applications like furniture fabrication and possibly creating automotive models.Īndrew and the team at Protolab decided on the following robotic technology: The setup uses multiple external axes to allow for an extremely flexible robot milling station. He got in contact with us because he was setting up a new robot milling workstation using a KUKA robot.

The Project: Multi-Axis Robot Milling Workstationįabrication technology is always improving and Andrew is always on the lookout for new and better ways to run the Protolab workshop. The lab serves the university both by providing a space for students to learn about fabrication in a hands-on setting and by providing fabrication services for the university’s many technical projects. He has a background in industrial design and scientific instrument making. The lab provides training and fabrication services to students at the university and has an impressive collection of machines including 5-axis CNC machines, SLA 3D printers, and, of course, robots.Īndrew Tarlinton is the manager of technical services, design, and architecture for Protolab.

Protolab is a fabrication laboratory at the Swinburne University of Technology in Victoria, Australia. Let’s have a look at that project! Meet… Protolab Recently, Andrew Tarlinton from Protolab at the Swinburne University of Technology had a question about using robotic milling with the new Fusion 360 Plugin.Īndrew asked: How can I incorporate multiple external axes into my robotic milling project? Often, the first we hear about these great case studies is when a user sends us a question. We always love hearing from users of RoboDK, especially when they are using new features of the software. What does a project using the Fusion 360 plugin look like in practice? Here’s how one university fabrication lab Protolab used multiple external axes.
