Fanuc R-2000iA/165F

Here's a revision to my original model.

 

My goal is to make it as realistic as posible.

 

Still haven't colored the casting yellow.

Good job so far! What does that thing do?

[ddustin]

It's a very large industrial robot.

 

They're used for moving heavy objects. It can easily move 350 lbs.

 

The thing stands about 8 feet tall.

 

Used in the automotive industry a lot.

Sweet! Can't wait to see the final model!

So do you have blueprints to work from, or are you interpreting this as much as possible from existing photos?

It looks very photorealistic to me. Nice modelling!

Phil,

I was given a replica from the sales rep (I used animation to sell a few of these bad boys).

 

I took the replica apart, took digital photos of the pieces, then made rotoscopes from the images.

 

Of course I have the parts in my hands so I can verify.

 

I probably should have noted, my wip model is the one on the right. The image on the left is off the web site. I wish I was that good!

Ha! Just realized what you were building. We have a Fanuc Robot where I work. It uses a piece of stainless heated with a welder to 'hot-wire' cut foam for the Saturn Vue SUV.

 

Too cool.

My original model (my avatar is the original model) was vague, so I decided to redo it. It's going to take me a while.
