Staubli robot arm
StaubliOnPillar.jpg
Model RX60L
Sub-category Robotics
Status Under Construction
Last updated 4 August 2022 21:26:32
Consumables Filament,cnc
Accessories PLA/ABS extruder + heated bed, spindle motor, accessory electronics
Training requirement Yes
Owner Mentar
Origin Donation
Location Basement, Robotics area
Maintainers mentar, padski, JonRussel

Kindly donated to us by Queen Mary's University, missing cable.

The plan is to Replace the cable and use the arm for 3d printing, precision welding/cutting, sculpting.

Applications

  • Currently worked on
    • 3D printing (Dependent on the G-code interpreter)
    • CNC (Dependent on the G-code interpreter)
    • PCB manufacture:
      • milling
      • solder paste application for SMT components
      • pick and place for SMT components
  • Potential applications
    • 3D scanning possibly using KinectFusion
    • Persistence of vision experiments (such as this display at Trafalgar Square)
    • High speed orbital photography

Status

Arm is now fully functional, mounted and able to intepret g-code movement commands!

Specs

  • Robot arm
    • Type: RX60L
    • Reference/machine number: 597411 - 01
    • Fabrication Le F - 12 - 1997
    • Masse kg 42Kg
  • Controller
    • Type CS7 - M RX60
    • 3 x 400V - 50/60 Hz
    • 4000VA
    • Masse kg 80Kg

Some photos/videos of the beast

TODO

  • Build a smooth solid table surrounding the arm.
  • Write the G-code interpreter for CNCing and 3d printing.
  • Integrate the armpi with the controller better (power it from the 3 phase socket)
  • Design and make the electronics for the controller to talk to the arm base (heated bed, calibration probe etc) and the end effector (spindle, extruder)
  • Get/print the housings for the robot arm cable
  • Hook up the arm to ROS
    • Rewrite the ROS Industrial libraries to use a serial stream instead of IP+port combo
    • Write the ros serial server to run on the controller
  • Check and top up oil all the joints as per manual instructions 1st 5 axes:http://www.alexoil.co.uk/lumach-ep-gear-oil-iso-68--1l_p115.aspx Wrist:http://www.alexoil.co.uk/lumach-ep-gear-oils-iso-150--1l_p125.aspx
  • Replace the battery 6v 8AH lead acid battery - this one: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/lead-acid-rechargeable-batteries/2651975/
  • Install it in it's dedicated area
  • Make the cable from the arm (han-dd108m, han-dd72/han-K6/36 straight/angled) to the controller Done 24/8/13 Padski
  • Make the cable for 3 phase power to controller.
  • Make a mobile but stable platform for the robot and the controller (volunteers welcome)Thanks cepmender!!
  • Get dummy plug for teaching pendant socket: Mouser Pt.Nos. # 571-66360-4 x 5 and # 571-2060371 x 1.
