Usually these things require 3-phase at some pretty healthy amperage.
Even if you can get the juice to run it, my other problem was space. The vertical reach on the ones I could have gotten were higher than the rafters in my garage.
So yeah, even if you do get all of the goodies, power can be a problem. I work at one of the these robot manufacturers, and there are many people doing cool stuff with these. They are pretty expensive, even when very old. So the best bet is to rent one or try to get the manufacturer sponsor you. If you have a really cool project, this isnt unlikely, especially Kuka is known for lending robots for cool projects.
For example look at this link: I know one guy who is powering a kg payload Kuka from a single phase to three phase inverter in his garage without problem.
You are quite right about the cost of used units though robots do tend to retain a good percentage of their value throughout their lifetime. In the photos it is apparent that there is no safety guarding, this is because it is in a controlled environment.
Robots are very dangerous and the chances of an unexpected movement in this project are increased because each character position in the sequence is calculated with an offset against the work object of the whiteboard. An error in calculation could see the robot veer in any direction, or even into itself!
Maybe home security or change the kitty litter. I recently heard about an advertising company that purchased several former GM robot arms to use as camera mounts. They mounted the cameras where the welders were, and now they have cameras that can rotate, track, etc. If I had one of these arms I would probably not bother learning the proprietary interface and just run the servo amps direct from a PC running EMC necessary interface hardware can be built easily enough, or bought reasonably.
Hmm if your looking to pick up a few of these I distinctly remember seeing some a few weeks ago. Both stores are located about 10 minutes apart in Mountain View, CA. As long as you know the specs on the motors and encoders it would just be a matter of juggling them the right way…I think?
Juggling might require a stack or two to keep track of the motors position and speed. Other than that, you should be able to just have a master processor to distribute the commands to the cluster and they would in turn act like a spinal cord to make sure the arm moves in the right way. Also, like a spinal cord, the cluster would do some reflexive corrections by sending each other data about the spatial position of each dof possibly by interrupts.
Here, get yourself some robot: The automotive transplant I used to work for would literally throw these away during model changes, it made me sick Denso, Kawasaki, etc. A contractor I knew told me of how they were disposed, they were lifted hudreds of feet into the air with a crane, and dropped into a scrap pile, smashing into bits.
Then they were turned into pig iron……. Anyway, my woodworking CNC lived a former life as a cartesian robot, xx mm, in an electronics assembly plant in Springfield, MO. Came with a manual, controller, and prog. It took a good six months of looking on ebay to find it, then another six months of tinkering to truly get it running….. We made something simular to this for a show robot. Basicly we programmed our own fonts. The words could be transferred via serial og ethernet, by a preprocessor that would build the entire program.
As i recall, we had a routine running on the robot, monitoring the filesystem, and IF the module for the writ program was pressent, it would load it, execute it and delete it. We even had it following freehand from a wacom tablet. Well anything is easy once you have done it: Btw in all fairness, the credit for the robot i describe go to HC and Q you know who you are. Those guys have a nag for finding simple solutions to complex problems.
When dealing with the programming, the research institution called Robocluster has released some software which may be interesting to look at, it allows for both simulations and actual controls. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Twitter account.

They are very easy to find.
