Anybody have any experience with their Forge/OS?
We started looking at cobots, UR was tempting but they seem to wear out so we looked at Fanuc. Then we realized that the 20% premium we save with an "industrial" robot (vs cobot) we can buy A LOT of safety fencing and have money left over. Then we started looking at used industrial robots on eBay and there are tons of options...
Seems like we could snag a used robot for pennies on the dollar, add the ready control, and have streamlined/modern robot programming capability.
Is this system really capable of being plugged into old/defunct robots and resurrecting them? I see robots cheap enough on ebay I might get one for use at home if Ready can fix them up...
