Educational Robot, SCARA, 4-Axis

#437

LARGER

This economical, yet fully functional, industrial-quality, 4-axis robot is ideal for training and research in many educational applications. With a payload lifting capacity of up to 5.5 pounds (2.5Kg.), and a tip speed of 8 in./sec. (0.2 meter/sec.), its performance and abilities approach that of industrial devices. A pneumatic, vacuum or stepper motor gripper can be provided. An electric gripper is standard. The PC-based controller uses PID control algorithms and can support two additional axes excluding the gripper. Programming is done using specially developed, PC-based, Robot Programming Language, or using C for low level modules. Teaching can be achieved through off-line programming, joint space programming and coordinate space programming. The device is capable of point-to-point and continuous path movements. 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 informative, productive and realistic.

FEATURES/SPECIFICATIONS Payload of 5.5 pounds (2.5Kg.). Tip speed of 8 in./sec. (0.2 meters/sec.). 4-Axes of motion. Reach; Link 1, 11.8" (300mm), Link2, 11.8" (300mm). Vertical height clearance 10" (250mm), without controller box. Three DC servo gear motors (12VDC) for joint actuation. Mechanical transmission via spur gear drives with pre-tensioned timing belts.
