I supply a lot of tooling for machine shops in the area. A couple of my accounts have these FANUC brand robot arms that they program to load and unload machines.
These guys decided to mount a chair and 5pt harness on the end of one [laugh]
Hilarity ensues.
Oh, and because it's here now and I have to use it. . . bacon smiley! [bacon] [bacon] [bacon]

workplace inspector chris says "wear a helmet, and have a drink." [thumbsup]
At least the viewing area was behind the white "safety line" ;D
TBI coming right up.
TBI?
that guy should be wearin' a helmet :-\
he's askin' for trouble if you ask me...
There is no way in hell I'd strap myself to that. I've known too many robots, and too many software developers, to trust myself to an industrial twisting/ripping/smashing arm. It's so strong that, if it decides to push you through the floor, it will.
That's what I thought. His head came awfully close to the ground at times.
I'd do it ;D

+1 on that. I worked with some of the first industrial robots in the Nuke industry. Does look like fun though.
I do believe I'd wear full gear though.

That way there's only one piece to pick up. [cheeky]
has anyone said derby yet?
that was posted up a couple weeks ago.........
Sorry, but I am going to have to report this. I did not see steel toe shoes, safety glasses, or proper hearing protection on the "material" being moved.
i'd want a helmet and to have it reprogrammed to give more clearance for my head, but sign me up!!!

agreed give me another 6" and i am in.
it is a great use of company resources, and to think that arm could be making the company money...pshhhh maybe that's how they fire people. get them all dizzy and then tell them that they have been replaced by a stationary carnival ride
