Robot-CNC integration: timers or I/Os? |

I'm looking to do machine tending with my robot, so the robot takes care of switching out the parts in and out of the machine. I'm wondering if I should use timers to know when the robot can switch the part, or if I should use the CNC and robot's I/Os to do that instead?

Hi,
I wouldn't recommend to use timers because this can cause some problems if the program stops for whatever reasons.
If your CNC has the I/Os, I would use them.Catherine Bernier, Jr. Eng. -

@Alexandre_Pare I think you had a customer in the UK looking to integrate a robot with a Haas, right? Might be a good place to ask questions if it's the case!
I'll reach out to my CNC provider to know which one to use.
Thanks!
