FabLab Barcelona – ShopBot (assembly and installation)

Machine design – part of the biweek assignment at the FabAcademy, helps students study how to assemble machines and see how they are wired, programmed and how it works. This also includes the current assembly of the ShopBot at the FabLab by the FabLab team, This robotic machine is highly calibrated to be a faster, easier and able to produce bigger materials. It has an automatic tool changer which reduces the time a project must remain on the machine by automatically changing, cutting bits between cuts, thus eliminating the need for the CNC operator to change and calibrate tools by hand. More machines will be assembled through out the week.
