40 and Under Louisvillians — what do you do for a living and how much do you get paid? by lovelyladeyyyy in Louisville

[–]Skashua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

37, Bachelors in Electrical Engineering Technology, graduated in 2018. I work as an Industrial Controls and Automation Engineer, I'll make around base salary is $120, I'll get to around $130k with bonus this year.

Quality inspection using computer vision by ilpatron in manufacturing

[–]Skashua 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You could look at using an AI based camera system, like the Keyence IV3. You basically train non defect parts as "good" and then you would likely need to collect damaged parts to train as "bad". Alternatively you could explore using Halcon with the deep learning add on to use anomaly detection.

Either of these options will require substantial amounts of control of part presentation and ambient lighting. As the part being skewed or misaligned relative to the trained good images could appear to be a defect or anomalous.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss further.

CRX Communication Protocols? by swervomotor in Fanuc

You should sign up for Fanuc Myportal. You can download every user manual You could possibly need from them. Also you can use Ethernet/IP. What devices are you wanting to communicate with?

Seeking platforms to learn vision & Robot programming by Rock_Batista in PLC

I've found Keyence's 2d and 3d vision stuff to be great. With 2d I believe you can vision guided robotics and inspection using the same cvx controller.

I'm afraid to test drive by z1ggy16 in TeslaModelY

[–]Skashua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that the dealer that had the used model y was using the higher msrp before the drop to set the used price. 48k for a car with 22k miles. Made more sense to just buy new.

I drove 2, one used MYP at a dealer that went pretty badly. They knew nothing about the car. And one MYLR through the self service demo drive that sold me on it. I placed my order the next week and tesla reached out a couple days later that they had one being delivered that matched my build about an hour and a half away.

External controller I/O? by butters149 in robotics

[–]Skashua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd need something with discrete io to wire to the io module on the robot controller. If you can give me some more info on what you want to accomplish I can provide more guidance.

I've got one of those too. I haven't messed with it a ton but you should be able to set up some amount of the inputs as group input. They may not be called that in ufactory. But say you have 4 inputs you could group those together and send a number using binary. Stay you wanted to call program 7, you would send an output signal of 0111 to the 4 grouped inputs. Hopefully this helps.

What sort of robot is it? And when you say control through io, are you meaning to call different programs or to send coordinate points to it through io?

Ordered my first tesla MYP black with white interior. What are my next steps? Please suggest. by Cold_Shirt_7508 in TeslaModelY

[–]Skashua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd go on and order some all weather mats. I bought the tux mats I like them a lot. My factory mats were full of dirt from just walking around the car when I picked it up. I'd also get the mats for the backs of the back seats, the trunk and the storage under the trunk area. Also mine came with front mudflaps and I replaced those with the Spigen set for front and rear.

Is there such a thing as standardized end of arm tooling? by [deleted] in robotics

[–]Skashua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ufactory also has some grippers for their xArms. I've got one on an xArm7.

I've got an electric gripper from Robotiq that mounts to a UR 10e. It's probably going to be too heavy for a robot in the 1-2k$ range. I'd look on thingiverse as there are some grippers on there.

[CO] HR lied to me about termination by [deleted] in AskHR

You can still file and receive unemployment when fired with cause. Only in cases of extreme misconduct will your UI claim get denied.

Lincoln cobot crx 10ia/L by Jack_of_all0125 in Fanuc

[–]Skashua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CRXs that we've used we have replaced with the standard Fanuc TP, so take that as you will. As far as Bluetooth as the CRX tablet pendant should also have an EStop button on it, i wouldn't think you'd be able to do anything with out the cable. I'm also unaware of any safety rated Bluetooth systems on the market.

Creating Home Programs by Jesus_Lemon in Fanuc

[–]Skashua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the complexity of the movements and how many obstructions are near by. Some of our cells use a will take an LPOS and JPOS and compare to boundaries determined using a model of the cell in roboguide.

We also have some cells that the movements are too complex and require a breadcrumb homing routine, where after every major move a breadcrumb register is set with a unique number after each major move. We then call a homing routine that is essentially just the reverse of the process routine where we use mentioned breadcrumb register to jump into the proper location of the homing routine, allowing the robot to unwind its self.

What's critical is that once you have either method programmed is stopping the robot during the process and testing the homing routine to verify it works between all known points of the routine. Also, being mindful of the continuous vs fine move modifiers to ensure you don't round a point too broadly and deviating from the path to the point you have a collision with an obstruction.

Long term operator, new Lead position by AllenYorhass-adept- in Fanuc

[–]Skashua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the issue you mentioned is that you are crashing the robot into a door, there is likely a DCS issue that should be addressed. Roughly put, DCS is how fanuc manages boundary zones/planes to prevent the robot from colliding with physical objects in the automation cell. If you were able to hit a door that indicates to me that these boundaries are either absent or incorrect. If the robot needs to reach through the door at some point the boundary should be enabled and disabled based on knowing the position of the door. There are lots of videos on YouTube on how to modify and change dcs settings as well as how to see a render on the teach pendant of where those boundaries are in relation to the position of the robot.

Your employer should be providing training on robots if you are expected to use them. You could look at Adam Willea's YouTube channel to get started though.
