Cobot with laser/lightburn

Hi guys,

So I’ve been doing some inspirational research today about cobots and how they might be useful to automate some stuff, things like placing items under my galvo (under supervision obviously).

I stumbled upon this video: https://youtu.be/B29DUODeAj8

In it you can see that the cobot acts as an actual rotary, making it possible to automate engraving items that should normally fit a rotary as well. I just can’t figure out how this would work… I know you can start a Lightburn job via python, but how would the cobot know how to act as an actual rotary? Does anybody have an idea or experience in this?

Would love to know more on this topic :slight_smile:

The robotic arm is running its own program, separate from the laser program.
