Robotic Perfection in Woodworking

Shared by Joakim Målare

The latest project by Joakim Målare showcases the intricate use of robotics in the arts and woodworking industry. Utilizing an orange ABB six-axis industrial robotic arm, the process involves precise CNC milling to carve elegant patterns into timber. As depicted in the media, the robot performs impressive subtractive milling, carving concentric layers into laminated wood and foam blocks effortlessly.

Integration of ENCY Robot

This operation highlights the use of the ENCY Robot in crafting wooden sculptures, demonstrating its capability in complex milling applications. The robot’s role in shaping and detailing large wooden bowl blanks illustrates the precision and efficiency advanced robotic technology brings to woodworking and the arts.

Innovative Technique and Outcome

The machining of shallow recesses and concentric grooves into timber blocks reveals the potential of robotic arms in achieving detailed sculptural patterns. As Joakim Målare and his team finalize their work, the project underscores the transformative impact of robotics in traditional industries.
