    That was my thought. Maybe he works at the ABB factory and assembled it by himself.

    Yes it is ABB IRB 140 S4C+ 6 axis arm.
    Was bought as-is, not working.
    Rebuilded and set china spindle.

    was made DIY convertor for Rapid language.
    Now it is can milling 3d wood model with huge 3d files.

    Pretty cool. I love watching these in action. Adapting one to a gantry mill would be really nice.
