We are kicking off demo week on DoF. Show us what you can do! What is the most challenging application you did? Show them off and help other pros who are working on similar projects.
It's time to share your knowledge and expertise! Don't forget to add videos, pictures and your robot programs.

Take a look back at some of the top demos shared on the community:

Here is the video
Machine Tending - this dual handed robot tends 3 testing machines, the first two are the performance test and the part and then the third machine is a poka yoke machine to verify that the part passed the performance test and that critical dimensions are to spec. The robot starts and monitors all of the machines and also controls an inbound and an outbound powered conveyors giving it basically 5 pieces of equipment running in background threads. We are using dual Schunk PGN+ grippers to achieve a part to part cycle time of around 21 seconds
The next video is of a game that we developed for the Salesforce DreamForce event in 2016. This robot allowed visitors to interact with the robot to play a game of Tower of Hanoi. The robot was told how to manipulate the pieces by the user using an app running on an iPad. This then controlled the robot via the cloud. There is no program running on the actual robot, everything was done off the robot.
Here is a funny demo for you guys. We needed to make a plasma cutting robot demo and decided to use our UR5 to do the demo. Turns out we did not have much steel at our shop and we always wanted to shorten our robot demo base. So the UR is actually cutting its own base in that demo!! Funny story!
The setup with the Hypertherm Powermax is supper simple. Simply wire the Arc Start signal to a Digital Output of the robot, connect the Powermax unit to compressed air supply and you are ready to fire! Make sure you ground things to make sure you don't damage the robot.
Many thanks,
Matthew
