Innovative Robotic Milling in Prototype Creation

Shared by nioform / Joakim Målare
In the world of prototype and mold fabrication, a new project showcases the advanced capabilities of modern machinery. As seen in the images, a large foam block is being precisely carved into a stylized bird form using six-axis ABB robot arm. This setup not only demonstrates the finesse of sculptural techniques but also highlights the functionality of robotic milling, known for its application in sculpture and stone work, as well as in automotive and transportation die & mold industries.

Robotic Precision
At the core of this operation is the use of ENCY Robot technology, facilitating precise and efficient shaping. The process involves mounting the foam on a motorized rotary table, enabling seamless integration of multiple axis movements for detailed work. The depth of the craftsmanship, as evidenced by the intricate setup in the workshop, underscores the practical use of robotics in achieving complex designs.

Advanced Applications
The versatility of the ENCY Robot is further exemplified by its ability to engage in diverse applications such as CNC milling and foam carving. Seen in multiple stages, from rough machining to intricate detail finishing, the mold fabrication exemplifies the future of automated production in the automotive and transportation sectors.
