@thegeekgroup Do they reuse the motors?

[thegeekgroup]

@nstahlable Yes, all of the interesting parts are recycled into the lab stock for member use.

I've found a video i've not yet watched, how is this possible?! D:

@cncfreakcncfreak Yes, you are correct, AC Servo, in particular the Siemens servo package, with resolvers as opposed to encoders (on most other cnc equipment).

thegeegroup,

May I ask what kind of motor does kuka use? AC servo?

[Serostern]

Kuk in swedish means dick.

So that's a Dicka robot. Lol =)
