Robotic Milling Tool
Jared L. Passen
The robotic milling tool is designed to be fitted universally onto any ABB robotic arm and serve as an apparatus for housing a milling or drilling device. The example used for for the purpose of this experiment was a Dremel model 3000 cordless variant. The device allows for other models of milling devices with or without cords to be employed for use.
The advantages of automation in milling are like in most cases, mass production and a standardization of quality, in addition automation can produce products on a much larger level to Han human production. Milling has been automated for quite some time for the purposes of C&C machining, but recently robotic arms have been taking over more and more of the milling process. Robotic arms can offer a wider range of options for carving and engraving material, where a standard c&c machine cannot, such as over and under cutting.
