FOURTEENTH WEEK

We have alredy started with the last challenge, this challenge consists in manage a robot, a camera and the robot program. He have to use the robot to take orange or black pieces from a ramp, the air suction cup takes the piece and moves to a place where is aligned with camera.
If the camera regconizes the piece as an orange, moves on to the CNC area but if the piece is black, the robot will move the piece to the waste area.

When and orange piece is taken by the robot, it places on a board. When the next orange piece places to the CNC area, that piece will be placed next to the previus piece and will continue until the board is filled.

When the board if filled the robot will take the pieces into the painting area and the procces will be be the same as the previous one. After the painting the pieces are moved to the dry up area.
The robot that we are going to use is ABB , the program name is Robot Studio, the camera is COGNEX and the camera´s program is IN-SHIGHT.

All of things are new for groupmates, we have never control  a robot and the start it was difficult. However, we are studying very fast, we know how to move the robot and how to take points. Also using the routines and now we are trying to understand the MOVEL OFFS, because there is a lot of things we have to remenber because we can't skip any step.

Also, we did the exam a couple weeks ago and all the group passed the exam. The exam wasn't very difficult but we managed to do it right and simple. The exam was about detecting and weighing some big and small pieces. If the weighing machine weighs the big one will take the elevator and move to a regular tray moved by the cylinder A and if the piece is small will take the elevator and will be placed on the electric tape.
