Recently, a special equipment test was conducted at the production base of ARTECH CNC COMPANY in Jinan, Shandong Province. Its independently developed milling Robot Arm was performing 3D carving on a piece of high-quality wood, with customer representatives from the home furnishing manufacturing industry observing the entire process. In the end, the high precision and efficiency demonstrated by the equipment received high praise.

This test focused on the customer's core demand: achieving automated and high-precision carving of complex wooden models. As seen at the test site, this milling Robot Arm equipped with a KUKA controller flexibly adjusted its operating angle by virtue of its 6-axis rotation function. A 7kW high-speed spindle drove the carving tool to cut into the wood smoothly, with fine wood chips gently falling along the processing path. The noise level during the entire process was lower than that of traditional equipment. After the operator imported the 3D model data provided by the customer through the Rob Code system, the equipment automatically generated the processing path and could complete multiple processes such as curved surface polishing and pattern carving without manual intervention.

"We are most concerned about the detail restoration and processing stability," said the customer's technical director while observing. In response, the technical team of ARTECH CNC demonstrated the equipment's performance through real-time data: the repeat positioning accuracy of this milling Robot Arm reached ±0.07mm, and for the 0.5mm-wide texture lines in the model, the carving error was controlled within 0.03mm, fully meeting the technological requirements for high-end home furnishing models. The European-style patterned wooden sample completed during the test had a surface finish of Ra 0.8μm, which could be directly used for sample display without subsequent manual polishing.

Notably, the intelligent detection function of the equipment became a major highlight. During the carving process, the visual sensor equipped on the milling Robot Arm collected surface information of the wood in real time, identified the texture direction and potential defects through AI algorithms, and automatically adjusted the cutting depth and speed to avoid over-cutting or under-cutting issues. "For carving such complex models manually, a skilled craftsman needs 3 days to complete the work, and it is difficult to ensure consistency across batches. However, the robot can accurately replicate the model in only 4 hours, increasing efficiency by nearly 18 times," introduced an on-site engineer from ARTECH CNC.

After the test, the customer representative signed an equipment purchase intention letter on the spot: "The performance of this milling Robot Arm has exceeded our expectations. It not only solves the problems we have long faced, such as high labor costs and unstable yield rates, but also its compatibility with the MES system can adapt to our existing production line. It is expected that the model production cycle can be shortened by 60% after it is put into use."

The production director of ARTECH CNC stated that wood processing is one of the core application fields of the milling Robot Arm. This test has verified the equipment's adaptability in scenarios such as furniture models and artistic sculptures. In the future, the company will continue to optimize the multi-sensor fusion technology of the equipment, develop customized processing solutions based on the characteristics of different woods, and help more manufacturing enterprises achieve intelligent upgrading. At present, the monthly production capacity of this milling Robot Arm can reach 20 units, and it has obtained CE certification, enabling it to quickly respond to the customized needs of customers around the world.
