Re: CNC Brownie Cutter

This place makes a lot of brownies, hence the need for help in cutting.
There is a Mach wizard that lets them 'teach' the machine the cutting
path. They manually figure out the nesting, some of the shapes are tough
to program- a Christmas tree, a lobster, etc. They have many cutter
shapes, will even do specials on request.

There is NO waste, the cuttings between pieces are bagged and sold. They
taste just as great as the neatly shaped ones.

The next addition is a chocolate dispenser, not as flood coolant, but as
decorative icing.

Being rich, thick chocolate they stick in the cutter fairly well. There
is an air solenoid pusher to eject them. The video shows one miss-pick,
but that test tray was not well greased and some of them stuck. Usually
they pick very cleanly.

This is a fun application, and shows some of the range of work that can
be done by this kind of motion control. The Mach screen set and VB
wizards make a powerful capability to build such custom applications.
