Some of these things are only like a thousand bucks. There has to be something cool you can do with em, right?

How much force can it exert? Is there a risk of death if it hits you?

every once in good while one of the arms at my workplace would throw case that the fence caught. If the program got off somehow it could drop them from a few feet in the air also

for me i'd try to program/modify it to track stars for astrophotography, and after failing that task i'd probably try to fuck it / let it punch my balls (assuming i can get enough padding installed).
6 months later, it's back for sale.

robot arms need 600V to run I think

Put it in your shed and attached a fleshlight to it. Open your country's first robo-brothel.

I remember he had problems cause programming it was all with properitery equipment. Thought he found some open source stuff that worked, but it has limited use.

Depends on the size of the robot.
Bigger ones usually use 480V 3-phase, smaller arms can do 120V if you're not lifting big stuff.

Oh yeah, without the pendant most of these arms are useless. Finding docs is a bitch too, since Fanuc can and will sue any company that leaks their PDFs - even to other employees that didn't pay for training.
Very much olds book zaibatsu Japan mentality, software is garbage too.

Make a YouTube channel
Get a pickup truck
Take the bed off
Make a flatbed for it
Mount the arm to the bed
Film yourself doing all this
Take a trip around the country promoting the "dick rip challenge"
If people let the machine jerk them off to completion they win $50k
If the machine rips their dicks off then nothing really happens
Film it all and out it on your YouTube channel.

I know the rules say no sex toys but this is more inline with a slot machine since it only pays out sometimes.

First, spend a fuck ton of time finding and replacing the capacitors that will blow when you power it up. Then probably some other stuff. Depending on the state of the controller it may be an idea to convert the entire controls to linuxcnc instead, people have done it but it’s cheaper than replacing 20 parts and buy old floppy disks with software

Good luck with your new yard-art.

Last I saw he had bought another one, had it in the garage, and things were going okay. That had to be like 5 years ago at least.

take it apart bit by bit and tell us or let us postulate how it was built and how it works

Yes, my first manufacturing job was working with these that loaded them into a cnc mill an older okuma horizontal 5 axis…

It will absolutely kill you and if it dropped shit which it does often that will kill you too

You were fired if you went into the cage

Program 1, grabs flesh light jerks you off

Program 2, throws rocks at your neighbors house after spinning for a bit

Damn man, it’s totally impossible to guess what that robot is, it’s painted a bright obnoxious yellow that has to be a trademark of some company

And those fanuc controls clearly on that box next to it

Fuck man

It’s a fucking mystery
