Build log of reviving an industrial robot

• transistor-man 9y ago
  Recently finished reviving an ancient SCARA robot, adding a modern control software, giving it a paintbrush and a heavy dose of python. The build report is a bit heavy on the robot mechanical and electrical hardware, but there's a github repo of image processing to synthesize the brush gcode and I thought you folks might be interested. A quick video demo: https://vimeo.com/213723506 https://vimeo.com/213723506

  This is cool stuff, I enjoyed reading about it very much! What plans do you have for for the robot and system after the painting contest is over?
  • transistor-man 9y ago
    Thanks! Curiously the plan is to attach a comrade's fiberlaser to it for some steel sheet lasercutting.

      Excellent! I'd love to see the results if lasering works out.
