PowerArmTM

with GRIPPER & EYECAM


PowerArm
THE POWERBOT ARM 1 is a industrial-quality device for applications or research. Its 6 degrees of freedom plus gripper can lift up to 2 kg. Driven by seven, reversible 24v DC motors, the arm can reach up to .8  m from the center of its rotating base to the tip of its closed gripper. This lets PowerBot TM pick up an object from the floor and set it on a table while viewing through the gripper tip EyeCam. All joints, except for gripper fingers, pivot or rotate ± 160°or more. Robot top plate or accessories may reduce potential motion in some directions. Joints include: 
1) rotating baseIndustrial Arm for PowerBot(tm) AGV
2) pivoting shoulder
3) rotating arm
4) pivoting elbow
5) rotating arm
6) pivoting wrist
7) 1-dof gripper
All joints, except for gripper fingers, pivot or rotate 180°.  Robot top plate or accessories may reduce potential motion in some directions.
