Ive been going down a rabbit hole of open source robotics and really want to build a 6 axis arm just so I can stick a dildo on the end of it.

On a tangential project, there's a control mechanism that can be theoretically used to control each axis of the arm by using a contraption that looks the same, but has encoders instead of motors for each joint. By moving the end of the arm on the controller, I can move the arm of the robot.

SO, what does this mean? I could hook a fleshlight up to one unit and the dildo up to the other, and experience some odd mechanized sensation of fucking myself in either direction.

That got me thinking about gathering data about how I fuck myself. I could hook up some electrodes and analyze physical response tagged vocally while I use robots to masturbate. I could then analyze the data, pull out movement sequences that I really like, then build a second arm to join the first. With the data I could just sit back and have some automated gooning.

BUT Wait, there's more! With that kind of automation, I could either rig up the program to a model in unreal and fuck a character in VR, or I could add trackers to the physical robots and have the assets rigged to the trackers and if I decide to take manual control, the scene would be dynamic (of course I could close loop my motors and pull that data but that get into a different realm of expense plus a big redesign). Maybe an existing dev would be willing to add trackable characters if I could sell them on gonners wanting to track dolls. Hmmmm...

These aren't even sexy androids, they are automation hardware that I'm trying to use to turn myself into a cum factory. My brain broke. Anyhow, just thought I'd share my day browsing github and Ali express while actively resisting the urge to buy the gyno chair for sale on govdeals.com.

I decided to make every, single, Axis model. I'm kinda shocked that nobody has done this before lol

Designed by Chujin Ketsukane, this short lived series of bots were designed to help aid in the Underground's Royal Guard. Sadly, none of them could rise to the occasion.

Axis 01 - The Glitchy One - Couldn't go 6 seconds before shutting down.

Axis 02 - The Happy Guy - Actually functioned. A nice and chipper lad, but wasn't very strong or powerful.

Axis 03 - The first one to get arms - He sure does have arms!

Axis 04 - The overconfident one - Launched one his gloves right in the King's face while shouting quirky 90's one liners.

Axis 05 - Big Ol Doofus - Probably the strongest so far but there wasn't a single artificial thought behind those eyes.

Axis 06 - The Pacifist - When he learnt what his purpose was, he was horrified. Decided to become a pacifist. Spouts the words "Peace and Love" every other sentence.

Axis 07 - Walking Axiety - Wouldn't even go in for his demonstration in front of the king. Threw up oil all over the judgement hall's floor on the way out. Chujin decided to stop giving mouths after that.

Axis 08 - The pyromaniac - After how soft the last two were, Chujin decided to give this one more fighting spirit. Unfortunately, 08 developed a love for fire and would commonly burn things just for "the funzies." He was the one who coast Chujin his job.

Axis 09 - The thinker - Chujin made this be a thinker. A strategist, who always thinks through his planes. Unfortunately, he made him too much of a thinker. He would just sit on a stool all day doing nothing but think.

Axis 10 - A wheely bad guard - First to be given straight up wheels. Unfortunately, he was clumsy and would always fall over! He was also just too nice to be in the royal guard lol.

Axis 11 - The jock - A light weight model with much better balance. He was honestly a pretty decent bot, but he kept on calling Chujin "Dude" and "Bro" which made him uncomfortable, and kept on saying pretty misogynistic stuff Chujin did not program him to say. This isn't who you want to represent your career as an engineer.

Axis 12 - The first one to given floating hands - He sure does have floating hands. Pitty they never actually worked...

Axis 13 - The baffled one - Floating hands actually work now, much to the robot's confusion. He kept on staring at them instead of doing what he was to do.

Axis 14 - The best - YOU ALL KNOW HIM!!!

The last few bots were donated to The Steamworks after Chujin's death to guard the premises. Sadly, it wouldn't mean much as the facility would close a few months later.

[stemmmm]

i got back from a week long trip so now i've had plenty of time to ruminate on things and im finally ready to see what the fuck this guy has been trying to cook

episode 7 post

ep1 ep2 ep3 ep4 ep5+6

i think i saw a drawing of this guy earlier today except he had boobs

so lion's pretty obviously supposed to be the baby from 19 years ago, right.

ay ay aY AY AY

oh bah, the way it started out as just the last word in caps for a couple lines made me think dlanor was disguised as shannon or something but nah shes just like a robot or possessed for something.

i feel like ive been told explicitly 15 times that beato was the original beatrice's daughter who kinzo believed was her reincarnated, as if this is the first time im being given this information

damn bro you look hideous

alright so we're positing that original beatrice was enough of a fascist that she stuck to mussolini even after the rest of the country gave up? ok.

alright alright alright we're talking about whether the axis were cowards based on whether or not they surrendered and how alright.

REALLY FUNNY FOR THE V/O TO STILL BE FULLY JAPANESE WHEN HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE SPEAKING ENGLISH. OH BUT "I CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH" IS?

interesting that this beatrice is using the baby beato voice. I've been trying to get the logic of it, and the best I can figure is that its just... to differentiate? differentiate WHAT exactly, whether its between human beatrices or just the humans and the witch im not sure yet. but I miss her other voice :( the flashback we got of her earlier that I didn't mention also used this voice even though im fairly certain the original version didn't.

i get that its for plot contrivances because beatrice had to get here somehow but WHY on EARTH would someone bring their daughter on an armed military vessel in the middle of a massive war. also because i touched on it earlier i'd like to clarify, i get that the participants in war are not necessarily people who agree with any of it. and even then, your circumstances of birth and pressure from your family will put you in situations out of your control (given, thats what this whole thing has Been About). idk i dont want it to come across as i don't get what's going on or like im an idiot or something. i may also be a bit defensive because i haven't really enjoyed the reading process terribly much in a while and didn't appreciate some of the feedback i've gotten in regards to "just keep reading, you'll like it, youll understand" because i dont think its properly come across that i think i Do understand, im just squicked the fuck out by a lot of things in part 6 and so far haven't seen anything that would allegedly turn my opinion around that much. but there's still a lot left in this to go. im just. bored honestly.

REALLY funny how much "bice" comes off sounding like bitch. all my friends at home call me bitch

oh my god also hilarious. the golds in the submarine isnt it.

EVEN IF ITS A TOP SECRET BASE WHY THE FUCK DONT YOU HAVE A DOCTOR?

anybody else have to stop and hold their head for a minute every time wildly specific gun specs are listed for no reason whatsoever

anyways this fight over the gold is fun, i figured something was gonna have to happen that got everyone else off that island and left the gold, so this makes as much sense as anything. and feeling the drive to live despite it all after seeing genuine bloodshed for the first time is a little overdone but just fine.

*curb your enthusiasm theme starts playing* well at least he insisted on taking her to a doctor

ohhhhh we're confirming beato is really and for true kinzo's biological daughter *head in handssss*

PLEASE STOP PINCHING THIS MAN'S ASS!!!

oh my god, first acknowledgement that battler isn't here. i kinda figured since he's always been kinzo's mirror of sorts, he wasn't gonna be here because kinzo was alive. like there's no reason for that to be the case, but to me the logic felt sound. battler and kinzo haven't been in the same place at the same time, at least not in 1986. and it seems that will continue to be the case !!

STOP PINCHING EVERYONES ASSES

lion sucks, actually. wretched personality.

i was holding back on making a joke about how maria talks about beato the way christian billboards exclusively go on about how there's "evidence god exists" or whatever, but now she's reciting the bible word for word so i dont know what to do with my point but i have to share it now. i do like that her point seems to be that because maria doesn't have a father, she is jesus. good for you girl.

BEATOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. and with the voice! ok so definitely that's the witch's voice.

alright this whole scenario can be argued as maria having an imaginary friend about it but if that piece of candy that beato told her to keep as a souvenir and not eat is still in maria's bag, magic is fucking Real.

also beato telling maria to practice basic hygene as her witch traini-- *has a jimmy neutron style brain blast and remembers the 1 (one) shinto shrine i've visited* OH, NO THIS IS A SHINTO THING. OK HELL YEAH. more of beato the "western" witch using japanese magics. i see i see i see.

fellas i may just like witch beato

We specialize in developing pick & place applications using gantry systems and 6-axis robotic arms. With a strong commitment to quality, we deliver top-notch industrial robotics and automation solutions to clients worldwide.

A top company specializing in gantry systems and gantry robots for CNC machine tending applications.

Understanding CNC Machines: An In-Depth Look at Their Components

CNC (computer numerical control) machines are sophisticated pieces of equipment designed to automate the manufacturing of parts from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. These machines come in various configurations, with CNC mills and CNC lathes being the most common. CNC lathes are ideal for processing cylindrical parts, while mills are versatile enough to handle flat, curved, or angular parts.

This article will explore the different components of a CNC machine. Some parts are common to both lathes and mills, such as the control unit, driving system, and feedback system, while others are specific to certain types of machines. For instance, tailstocks and headstocks are unique to CNC lathes.

1. Input Device

The input device is how CNC programs are loaded into the machine. This can be done through a keyboard (to directly input G-code commands), a USB flash drive (to transfer a program from another computer), or wireless communication (to download a program from another computer over a network).

2. Machine Control Unit (MCU)

The MCU is the brain of the CNC machine. It comprises electronic hardware and software that interpret the G-code provided by the input device and translate it into instructions for the tool drivers. The MCU controls the movements of servo motors along the machine’s axes and processes feedback from sensors to ensure precise tool positioning. It also manages tool changers and coolant activation as specified by the G-code.

3. Machine Tools

Machine tools refer to any tools that perform processes on a workpiece, usually cutting tools. CNC lathes use stationary tools and rotate the raw material to make cuts, whereas CNC mills move spinning tools into stationary material. Advanced 5-axis machines can move both the tool and the workpiece, enabling the creation of more complex features. Machine tools are stored in “tool libraries,” and a tool changer automates the swapping of tools during operations.

4. Driving System

The driving system consists of the motors that move the tool along the machine’s axes. In a standard CNC mill, the bed moves horizontally along the x- and y-axes, while the cutting tool moves up and down along the z-axis. In a CNC lathe, the driving system moves the cutting tool along the rotational axis of the workpiece. Movement is often controlled by servo motors, ball screws, and linear guides to ensure precision.

5. Feedback System

A feedback system is essential for maintaining accuracy. It uses a closed-loop control system to verify and adjust the position of mechanical components after movement. This can be achieved with linear or rotary encoders attached to the servo motors. Special probing tools are also used to measure the actual part during machining, ensuring dimensional accuracy.

6. Display Unit

The display unit is a screen that shows crucial information to the operator. Some units have large, high-resolution screens displaying extensive data, while others have smaller, low-resolution screens showing only essential information. The display unit allows the operator to input G-code, change machine settings, and monitor the machine’s status.

7. Bed

The bed of a CNC mill is where the raw material is mounted. Various work-holding jigs secure the workpiece in place, often using t-slots or holes for attachment. In a CNC lathe, the tool turret and tailstock are mounted to the bed, and the raw material is secured in the chuck.

8. Headstock

The headstock is specific to lathes and contains the main drive, bearings, and gears needed to rotate the chuck. Located on the left side of the lathe, the headstock is usually enclosed and accessed via removable panels.

9. Tailstock

The tailstock supports long, cylindrical workpieces on one side while the chuck supports the other, preventing deflection during cutting. The tailstock can move along the lathe’s z-axis to accommodate different lengths of raw material.

10. Tailstock Quill

The tailstock quill, located in the tailstock, has a conical end aligned with the spindle and chuck axis. It provides additional support for long shafts by fitting into a drilled hole in the workpiece, with limited range of motion adjusted by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure.

11. Footswitch or Pedal

Foot pedals are used in CNC lathes to activate and deactivate the chuck and tailstock quill, allowing operators to load and unload parts easily. CNC mills typically do not have foot pedals, as the parts are already supported on the bed.

12. Chuck

The chuck is a lathe-specific component that grips the raw material during machining. It rotates at high speed and typically has three or four pneumatically or hydraulically actuated grips. Three-jaw chucks are self-centering, while four-jaw chucks can be individually adjusted for greater accuracy and eccentric cutting.

13. Control Panel

The control panel includes the input device, display unit, keyboard, and other controls for interacting with the CNC machine. It is often attached to the machine with an extendable arm, allowing operators to position it conveniently.

This comprehensive look at CNC machine components highlights the complexity and precision involved in modern manufacturing processes, ensuring high-quality, accurate production across various industries.

3 & 4-axis gantry systems, gantry robots, Cartesian robots, linear stages, robot tracks, and linear axes

Leveraging our expertise in developing and manufacturing 3 and 4-axis gantry systems, we deliver exceptional automation solutions for CNC machine loading and unloading. Our gantry systems boast high payload capacities and high-speed capabilities, ensuring efficient and streamlined operations. Built with a robust structure for enhanced stability, our gantry systems are designed to be user-friendly, boosting productivity.
