3 degrees of freedom controlled by a rugged stepper motor supplied with an activity mat that provides a range of exercises to replicate an industrial robot arm.
The robot arm production cell consists of a rugged 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 microcontroller programming, sensors and actuators, kinematics and more.
The user can connect the robot arm production cell to their hardware platform – Windows PC, Android mobile, Raspberry Pi/Linux device using USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology.
With base, shoulder and elbow rotation and functional gripper, the arm itself delivers 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 locations in the work cell to study pick and place and sorting technology. It is also compatible with the Industry 4.0 Smart Factory.
The robot arm is supplied with two software applications which allow students to learn how robot arms work – control and pendant programming.
ControlÂ
The Robot Arm control software allows students to understand how the individual axes and motors of a Robot Arm are used to control motion. This gives students a low level understanding of arm movement. The software allows students to control the angle of rotation of the motors in the base, shoulder and elbow and to see how angle values relate to X, Y, Z coordinates. The software allows students to save positions and construct a very basic program.
Pendant ProgrammingÂ
The pendant programming software mimics a typical pendant that you would find on a shop floor in a manufacturing company. G code command buttons on the pendant allows students to construct complex programs for the arm – but the pendant requires no prior knowledge of G code commands. Students can use the pendant software to move to a position in X, Y, Z and then transfer that to a move command. Students can construct programs that include MOVE, LOOP, INPUTS, DELAYS, and basic IF statements. Programs can be saved and loaded.
