How to set a default program on startup!

If the center of gravity of your gripper and your part added together is six inches from the end of the robot arm, then the payload of your robot might not be what you think it is. Make sure to pick the correct robot!

Not to mention that many brands will not let you Max out the payload curve at full reach and full speed of the robot.

We started a discord for anyone building their own machine tending system to discuss with other folks going through the same thing. Link in bio.

Every great story starts with someone who refuses to be held back. 🔥
Meet — a machinist who had a vision. More parts. More precision. More time for what actually matters. He didn't just want a robot. He wanted his weekends back. He wanted to be home for dinner. He wanted his kids to know his face better than his shop floor does.
That's where we came in.
We had the honor of building and installing his new Aries machine tending system — powered by a UR-15 cobot that doesn't clock out, doesn't call in sick, and doesn't flinch at a 90-hour unattended run. Ninety. Hours. 🤯
A AutoDoor handles access seamlessly. The only thing missing? Hey ... this man needs a sump filter screen. 👀 Hook him up and let's make this thing truly unstoppable. 🤝
The machine runs. The chips fall. And the guy who built this business with his bare hands? He's at home, present, exactly where he deserves to be. 🏠❤️
This is why we do what we do. Thank you Mike for trusting us with something this important — not just the build, but the bigger picture behind it. We don't take that lightly. Ever.
This is Lights Out Manufacturing. 🤘

I loved Kanban before but having it all digital is so nice. Takes a bit of setup but so worth it. .cards

We just started offering our machine tending solution as a DIY kit and our first customer knocked it out of the park! started installing his system on a Monday and ran Lights Out Production all night Thursday on top of running and managing his business.
