Robot Arm Production Cell RB1387

With base, shoulder and elbow rotation and AUTOMATICS
functional gripper, the arm itself delivers
AUTOMATICS
fast, accurate and repeatable movement. The
stepper motor driven arm delivers an accuracy
to 0.04 degrees per step, < 0.5mm XYZ. The kit
is supplied with a number of coloured counters
which can be moved by the arm into different SMART FACTORY
locations in the work cell to study pick and place
Robot Arm and sorting technology. It is also compatible with
the Industry 4.0 Smart Factory (see pages 12-14).
The robot arm production cell consists of a rugged
SMART FACTORY
stepper motor controlled 3 degrees of freedom arm
bolted to a base plate and supplied with an activity
mat that provides a range of exercises to replicate
an industrial robot arm. The free instructional guide
includes worksheets in pendant, G code, API and ROBOT ARM
microcontroller programming, sensors and actuators,
kinematics and more. The user can connect the robot
ROBOT ARM
arm production cell to their hardware platform –
Windows PC, Android mobile, Raspberry Pi/Linux device
using USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology.

Multiple Programming PROCESS CONTROL
Methods

Users of the robot arm can program from many
programming IDE’s Including Flowcode, App
PROCESS CONTROL
Inventor, C++/ VB / C#, Python, LabVIEW or
their own industrial PLC. This is made possible
through the publication of an API (Application
Programming Interface), which consists of a MICRO CNC
library of commands which make programming LEARNING OBJECTIVES & EXPERIMENTS:
via USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi possible from
multiple software sources.

Refined Design
The mechanics of the arm are designed to maximise the payload (the amount the arm can lift). This is
achieved by placing the heavy motors on the base platform and by using a system of levers and cogs to allow
the arm to move with great precision within its range of motion.
