4th week

We are still working in the ABB robotic arm, we are still having issues with it, due to malfunctions in the cable management. But we are giving our fullest to make this project on time.
I hope our score in the exam was good, so we can focus 100% on working, everyday we learn new things and I hope we don't stop learning. It is a very hard challenge, but teamwork always helps out on working.





















This week I personally had to pass the previous CHALLENGE exam while my colleagues were doing the challenge we are doing now, I have already addressed what the teachers asked me to pass the previous challenge and now I am helping my colleagues to move forward with the robot challenge, we have a few days left to finish and ns we have to put the batteries to arrive in time to the delivery of the challenge.



We're working with the cognex camera. The function of this camera is to take photos of the parts that the robot leaves in front of it. It has to detect the bad black pieces and good orange pieces. According to the color the black pieces will be taken to a rejection zone and the orange pieces will follow the cycle pass by cnc, the paint area, the drying area and then to the area of good pieces. It has become quite difficult because the camera has enough functions to perform this room of parts, so we didn't know which would be better to use.




This week one person of our group has been sick so they have lost part of this challenge, so we have had to work harder and distribute better the work. When he comes, we'll have to explain to him everything we've come through this week with the project. He was performing the "robotstudio" exercises the system where the rapid language of the robot ABB has to be programmed. We have to learn well how to use this program because the exam will have to do it using this tool.




The model we have is the irb 120. We've already started with the final program. Previously we started a simple program to know the characteristics of the robot. We are having problems with the robot as the shafts are not well aligned and does not go to its initial position. The robot program from the computer then i connect it to robot to give them some values

3rd week

In this week we have started the next challenge. In this challenge we start using a robot, in this case a robot of ABB company. We doesn't know how start to program this robot, in our group anybody never tought a robot. We have start doing exercise put in moodle but whe dont know how solve its, so whe need help of the teacher, and little by little we are pulling forward. We have to do a calendar for this challenge because we need optimize the time we spend in all things.





We are starting to get the hang of the ABB robot, it is such an amazing experience to be able to work with such technology, the learning process is effortless it`s all about using it, and only with that you are able to make such complex programs.
The Cognex camera is also so powerful, it can detect different colors and shapes, we haven't started with it yet, but I am eager to start using it to it`s full potential, the possibilities with this machine are almost infinite.





In this second challenge we have an industrial abb robot. We have to create our own program meeting the requirements of the model and apart we will add more things to have a great project. It consists of taking the piece on a tape, taking it to the camera to take a photo and depending on the part will make one process or another.Apart, we have to plan to put several sensors to identify whether or not the robot has a part in the suction cup.

Robot Features:
- It has 6 axes
- Works by a pneumatic group.
- Has a Windy
- Orange Card (rele... ect).

We believe that this challenge is the most interesting of all the course because it's something new for us that we have never used. The ABB robot is very important in today's industry because all companies use these this types of robots to handle their production elements.
And in the part of "Ikasempresa" this week we haven't started with anything new, we continue creating the first steps of our company, such as the positions of the workers, functions of each person, as we will promote the company etc...




This week I have to do an exercise of the previous challenge because I keep pending to finish it, it is very long and I am having a hard time doing the exercise, we have also changed the CHALLENGE and we are in the arm of the robot, it is new for the whole group and we have to be attentive to we can do everything the teachers ask us, hopefully this challenge will be better than the previous one and the mistakes we had we can improve them in this one.
