Kindly donated to us by Queen Mary University's School of Electronic Engineering & Computer Science was missing arm and power cables.  
 
A copy of the original cable was made and used until the failure of the controller - it was then scrapped
 
A generic one was then made up using RJ45 for the encoder cables and SPECON for the servo motors themselves
Kindly donated to us by Queen Mary's University,  was missing arm and power cables.
 
The arm is being worked on by the robotics group (more help welcome) and the plan is to turn it into a cnc/3d printer/plasma cutting machine and open up to the general membership once safe to do so.
 
== Applications ==
 
*Currently worked on
** 3D printing (Dependent on the  [[Equipment/Staubli/gdmux|G-code interpreter]])
** CNC (Dependent on the [[Equipment/Staubli/gdmux|G-code interpreter]])
** PCB manufacture:
*** Milling
*** Drilling
*** solder paste application for SMT components
*** pick and place for SMT components
*Potential applications
** 3D scanning possibly using [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quGhaggn3cQ KinectFusion]
** Persistence of vision experiments (such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vywf9P_-e_s this] display at Trafalgar Square)
** High speed orbital photography

Arm is able to interpret g-code. Some PCB milling has been done but can not control speed well currently and due to lack of a stationary table the positioning of the stock is tricky. Table top should be arriving soon.

== TODO ==
* Necessary
** <s>Build a smooth solid table surrounding the arm.</s>
*** Install final top section. (Jon to do this next week)
*** Build square frames to support the rear sections of the table top.
*** Drill frame and screw tops down.
*** Round the two corners so they don't hurt when you bump in to them.
*** Round over the entire edge all the way round with a router.
*** Sand, Varnish (2 coats) & Polish the surface.
*** Drill large hole in rear sections to robot install cable.
** Move 3-phase mains socket to below table top, by locker.
** Install flashing light
** Install two emergency stop buttons on frame at front and wire in to controller.
** Fit batten to long wall and build frames to support 3m long worktop. Fit long work surface
** Mount CS7 controller, off floor, on wooden frame ? to allow airflow from below.
** Write the [[Equipment/Staubli/g-code_interpreter|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)
** <s>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

** <s>Make the cable from the arm (han-dd108m, han-dd72/han-K6/36 straight/angled) to the controller</s>  Done 24/8/13 Padski
** <s>Make the cable for 3 phase power to controller.</s>
** <s>Make a mobile but stable platform for the robot and the controller (volunteers welcome)</s>Thanks cepmender!!
** <s>Get dummy plug for teaching pendant socket: Mouser Pt.Nos. # 571-66360-4 x 5 and # 571-2060371 x 1.</s>
* Nice to have
** 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
*** <s>Write the ros serial server to run on the controller </s>
