Innovative Robot Milling Techniques in Woodworking

Unique Woodworking Process
In an exciting showcase of woodworking capabilities, Sérgio Gomes design adapts a single-piece, cantilevered desk made from stacked wooden slats. The design smoothly transitions from floor to tabletop, demonstrating not only aesthetic appeal but also structural ingenuity, as seen in the video where the setup supports various small items without visible manufacturing equipment.

Advanced Workshop Techniques
The workshop environment highlights the precision involved in creating large-scale wooden constructions. Using a handheld industrial hot-air gun, technicians apply heat to a large curved form made from finger-jointed wooden blocks, enhancing workability in shaping tasks. This process is crucial for achieving the desired curvature in complex wooden components.

High-Precision Robot Milling
A six-axis industrial robot fitted with a spindle-style end effector illustrates the advanced capabilities of ENCY in milling applications. Positioned beside a stepped block assembly, the robot streamlines manufacturing processes within the woodworking industry, enabling precise cutting and shaping of components.

Collaborative Engineering Efforts
Thanks to the combined programming efforts of Alexandre Scar and the support from Guilherme Donato, ENCY’s robot milling processes have been effectively implemented. This collaboration underscores the robust application of ENCY’s CAD/CAM software in woodworking, enhancing the potential for intricate 5-6D milling and sculpture crafting processes.
