Educational Robot, Articulated, 6-Axis

#435

LARGER

This economical, yet fully functional, industrial-quality, 6-axis, articulated robot is ideal for training and research in many educational applications. With a lifting payload of up to 6.6 pounds (3Kg.), and a tip speed of 8 in./sec. (0.2 meter/sec), its performance and abilities approach that of industrial devices. A pneumatic or parallel-jaw, servo-motor gripper can be provided. A pneumatic gripper is standard. The PC-based controller uses PID control algorithms and can support two additional axes. Programming is done using specially developed Robot Programming Language, or using C for low level modules. Teaching can be achieved through off-line, joint space programming and coordinate space programming. Whether used as a stand-alone training device, or in combination with other DAC automation-related training products in a complete manufacturing system, this device will help make training in this fundamental industrial technology more realistic and productive.

FEATURES/SPECIFICATIONS Payload of 6.6 pounds (3kg.). Tip speed of 8 in./sec. (0.2 meter/sec.). 6-Axes; (3 for waist-shoulder-elbow) (3 for roll-pitch-roll at spherical wrist). Reach; Link 1, 11.8" (300mm), Link2 11.8" (300mm). Vertical height 15.75" (400mm). DC servo gear motors (1:250 ratio) for joint actuation. Mechanical transmission; Joint 1 - bevel gear, Joint 2/3 - ball screw, Joint 4/5/6 - spur gear and bevel gear. 100% Gravity compensation using non-reversing ball screws. Position feedback via optical encoders. Option of pneumatic or electrical gripper. Range of motion; Joint 1 - 300 degrees, Joint 2/3 - 60 degrees, Joint 4/5/6 - 330 degrees. PC-based controller using PID Control algorithms, including support for up to two additional axes (excluding gripper). Controller allows for 16 additional inputs and outputs. Positive and negative proximity end limit sensors. Proximity home sensors. Software allows for off-line programming, joint space programming, and coordinate space programming. Uses point-to-point path programming or optional continuous path programming. Communication via PC ISA bus. Safety features including emergency stop switch and limit switches. Can be integrated with other DAC products relating to automated manufacturing, FMS and CIM. Overall space envelope; 25"W x 25"L x 18"H (165 lbs.) (625mm x 625mm x 450mm (75Kg.)).
