Traditionally, CNC milling has required a bulky machine tool. To cut advanced toolpaths beyond simple three-axis cutting in x, y and z, machine tools require additional features like rotating tables and spindles that can articulate in multiple axes. However, there is a growing group of six-axis robot users who use their robot to cut toolpaths using a milling head end effector. While most robots cannot match the torque and rigidity of a full-size machine tool, they d…
