Howdy,
I have a Staubli Rx90. I'd like to use the arm with a small router (or even a dremel tool) and - using a very small, sharp carbide router bit, cut out a pattern for foundry work. Ideally I'd cut it out of western red cedar, balsa, or some other not-so-dense wood. Alder perhaps. The pattern is 14" long, 8" wide, and 2" thick. It needs to be cut on the two opposing 8"x14" sides.
I'm not opposed to using wax if wood is not an option. Foam might work too, but I'd much prefer to deal with wood dust.
Does anyone here have experience with this sort of cutting? I'm looking for good detail, and suspect I'd have to "drip-feed" multiple programs from my pc to the controller via tera-term and a serial cable.
I have not tried using RoboDk yet, but am an experienced Rhino3D user.
Thanks!
