Something like this has also happened to me. It gave me a huge push into micro machining on Swiss machines. I plan to do the same thing when I’m in a position to. Guys like this change lives.

No for industrialization it's bad

I bought an Epson Vt6L from a fairly prominent high end vise manufacturer having no idea how to use it. The process of getting one of these things and learning from nothing is such a rewarding feeling. Getting it, sending it home for the first time, getting your first motion commands and talking to IO ports. It's especially helpful having people who are willing to lend a hand in the process. For that, I need to shout out the guys at PSC up in New York, they are an awesome crew.

A tip for anyone looking for a short. Replace the fuse with a low wattage light bulb. If shorted itll glow. if already shorted itll glow until you find the short. good work on the robot!

Ah yes, the “I contacted someone to ask about buying something and ended up getting it for free” strategy. I also have experience with this. It’s a very odd feeling, but I am extremely thankful for it when it happens. I got a no longer produced pack of Fuji FP-100c this way, and then proceeded to screw up the first 3 pictures because I didn’t understand how it worked… 5 pictures are left and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to use this awesome film and will be saving it for very special occasions.

I am so glad you found a mentor that helped you on your adventure

Oh cool! I inherited one of these arms and also came across this same guy. He mailed me the hard drives and other things I needed to get it running!

Ugh the most maddening controllers ever, I’m so glad adept controllers aren’t made anymore. I just threw a bunch away. Glad you got yours working well though!

That old dude is frigging insane, in his life achievements - the equipment he has and his generosity.... If in his position with a keen newcomer I'd totally be giving them stuff to be internested.

love it, i so love seeing the next generation of engineers and DIYers taking the internet by storm

This is fanstastic, I’d never seen a robot arm like the kind you showed here. Excited to see more!

That man is an awesome man, makes the whole vid wholesome

Extremely impressive! I can’t imagine all your hard work that went on behind the scenes..

That last bit got me to sub. I love it when people new to the industry pay proper respect to the old timers.

Hey man, this is super cool. things like this take time and I appreciate it!

Aaah, this story reminds me of when I went to the local electronics shop to buy a replacement fuse for my 3MP (!) digital camera, a very small surface-mount fuse mind you! I mentioned that I was not exactly sure how to solder it, and they kindly directed me to someone who might be able to help me. Turns out the guy was a retired robotic electronics guy, but he was also constantly getting pulled in to new, small jobs since he was the only one with the right knowledge. Also he did the soldering of my camera fuser for free! :)

Really cool video and a great story. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them!

cool vid and good job on the troubleshooting. Always remember though this is industrial equipment and therefore dangerous. Even though it's small it can still malfunction and swing around and hit you, possibly ending up in an emergency room visit.

Awesome guy giving you that stuff. He clearly wants you to succeed.

Just got to find another guy who specializes in robot legs.

I needed this video today, thank you!

amazing video, i just suscribed. over here in mexico these robot arms are not only hard to find but impossible to get a way to learn it.thanx for sharing your story

Really like the video and info! Keep going man. You gonna grow up as Chanel quickly 💪

May you keep the legacy of the friend who gave you all the needed equipment! What goes around comes around

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing.

Bro love your channel

You can use blender to calculate all your joint angles and be able to use inverse kinematics because it is animation software

So cool. and Sooo generous of that guy. Talk about looking after the next generation. Hat's off to him, and to you in your pursuits. I think you may have found a new subscriber. :)

I had the chance to work with a ur3 robot for a paid project and got to keep it. these robots are so fun to work with !!!

this was randomly recommended to me, idk why, but hello, and I hope this comment further helps in the algorithm boosting this great video :)

Awesome, i wish i could have these toys at home too, It would help alot to study automation and robots. I have an old télémécanique testbed which was used by a school, its old but very interesting

this is so cool. keep going!

oh GOD you've been blessed. I wish you a happy journey in the robotics field (^__^)/

FYI, compared to a lot of industrial hardware, robots don't have much used market value, beyond just parts and replacement units for existing (but older) production cells. They're a bit like CNC machines in a way, since they inherently get less accurate over time. Not by much, and often not enough to actually justify selling them for scrap value. Robots are pretty much the same, and in a way do lose their reliability rating and accuracy over time. But again, not by much, and certainly not enough to justify selling working units for scrap. I work in machine building for medical device production, so high value stuff. But it kinda feels wrong to use a brand new Kuka arm, requiring all new software, calibration equipment and training, when we could've just bought the same robots we were using 4-5 years ago second hand, and probably get better results.

I grew up next to that plant and ended up working as an electrician there

Awesome video!

Awesome story!!!

id love to set one of these up to automate my print farm, you could setup a track for it to run forward and reverse on to go up and down an isle of printers to clear prints and bin them.

add cam systems with AI object recognition and its a recipe for some fun

Would be great for sorting items passing between them if it has a camera and basic ai deciding on rhe item

what a legend

Nearly every successful person has a mentor.

I have that exact robot arm at my job and it functions as a screw bot (it's usually down for repairs though)

@@coybeardmore lol they have machines there that haven't been supported for more than 40 years and despite the issues we have with many of them, they'd rather invest in automation like cobots. I'm just glad I'm not maintenance 😆

THATS AWESOME

Excellent

Your work shop looks just like mine only cleaner and more organized.

this story reminds me of cyberpunk stuff, becoase of how robots have become common enought for common poeple to have thier own robots

your video is just awesome! lol

Are you sure you can run both at the same time? It could be a safety feature that this is not allowed. If arm1 ist static, arm2 can do it's path planning and does exactly know where the allowed area is. Otherwise they would need bidirectional online path prediction

@coybeardmore

🤔 possibly, I'd have to do more research. But I think it has to do with the fact that the controller only has one AWC card, which is like the brains of the controller.

Just start selling merch and you'll really get a robotic arm for free

A true nerd on nerd interaction with the guy from new york. Just in it to make cool shit not fussed about money.

I want one

This is proof that with money, determination, and time in mommy's basement, you can make anything in this world.🥰

This is great and all but who "Just has" free stuff given to them. Another thing, who has a complete shop set up to drill, mill and machine parts? Videos like this are just a huge load of BS to normal people who do not have an outlet like this. Total BS
