- | ==== Drilling holes in a grid ==== | + | |
- | This tool head was made to drill a grid of 495 holes into the base plate of the thermoform machine. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Physicial setup === | + | |
- | The program is made and executed on the teaching pendant. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{: | + | |
- | The Dremel is strapped to the upper arm of the robot and secured with zip ties, using a curved block of foam. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{: | + | |
- | Slide the Dremel flex-arm in the 3D printed holder. Make sure it is attached to the tool change plate. Check that the bolt-heads are not sticking out on the side that will mount to the robot arm. The tool changer needs low profile bolts. Attach the tool to the robot arm and install a 1mm drill in the chuck. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{: | + | |
- | I had a piece of wood on a table with a layer of thick cardboard underneath, but with the robot arm, it is possible to drill in walls, upright panels etc... (The cardboard in the picture should have been thicker). | + | |

- | === Define the coordinate system of the stock material === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{: | + | |
- | Test the reach of the arm: can it get to the far corners? | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{: | + | |
- | To define the coordinate system of the stock material, take the teaching pendant and go to '' | + | |
- | * Add a plane and define the necessary points. In this case these are the corners of the sheet of MDF. | + | |
- | * First point: this defines the origin of the feature. | + | |
- | * Second point: this defines the Y axis. | + | |
- | * Third point: this defines the X axis. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Save the file with a clear name. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Define the grid === | + | |
- | In this example, the drill makes a grid of 495 holes. The program is based on a wizard for palletizing. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | On the teaching pendant, load the following program: '' | + | |
- | Let's define 4 points where the outer most actions of the palletising sequence will take place. These points will become the corner-holes. | + | |

- | In the program tree, click item '' | + | |
- | Click '' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{: | + | |
- | From the upper right drop down menu, select the feature you defined previously. | + | |

- | {{: | + | |
- | To make the drill point straight down, click on one of the number boxes under '' | + | |

- | Lower the speed for safety. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Manually move the arm to the first position, using the on screen arrows. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{: | + | |
- | When arrived at the first position, carefully move the arm down so that the drill almost touches the wooden surface. Keep a millimeter of safety margin. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Click '' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | === Define the drilling sequence === | + | |
- | This is the sequence to drill a single hole. When running the program, it will be repeated for every hole. | + | |
- | We will only be defining heights, since the X-Y location will be taken from the grid locations later. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{: | + | |
- | Under '' | + | |
- | Position the drill about 1mm above the surface. | + | |
