Description

Kindly donated to us by Queen Mary's University, was missing control and power cables.

The cable has been replaced with a DIY one, now the members of the [Robotics] group are figuring out a way to securely mount it so that it can be used for 3d printing, precision cutting, milling, sculpting (maybe welding later)

TODO

  • Check and top up oil all (most done just need to oil joints 1 and 2) the joints as per manual instructions 1st 4 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
  • Get/print the housings for the robot arm cable: step files here for the arm, and controller
  • Figure out how to do useful things with it!
  • 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.
