PREMIUM P-SERIES ROBOT ARM with optional gripper

Human-like arms offer exciting challenges for researchers, including object detection, perception, guidance and manipulation. In this premium 7 DOF plus gripper (optional) arm, all axes are completely independent yet can be controlled simultaneously using the included Actin control software. Pitching axes have integrated load balancing springs. All joints have ball bearing support. Spin joints have additional planetary bearings. The USB actuator controller card has configurable channel allocations. AlL actuators are connected through a single, daisy-chained cable. High performance, intelligent actuators give feedback on position, speed, load, voltage, and temperature. They also include an LED status indicator. Digital packet based network communication up to 1Mbps.

OUTDOOR ROBOT ARM with optional gripper

The Outdoor Arm for Seekur or Seekur Jr is a 5-degree-of-freedom, allelectric manipulator with an electric or pneumatic gripper. The Outdoor Arm has a 25lb. lift capacity throughout its full hemispherical envelope. Designed for adverse
environmental conditions, static and dynamic seals make it water and dust resistant. Cartesian control is an option to provide true end-point gripper control and auto-routines for redundant tasks.

PowerBot Arm

>

POWERBOT ARM

This industrial-quality device, with forward and inverse kinematics software, is applicable for indoor 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 Firewire Camera. 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 base
2) pivoting shoulder
3) rotating arm
4) pivoting elbow
5) rotating arm
6) pivoting wrist
7) 1-dof gripper

KEY FEATURES

• Nose mounted 6-axis arm
• 6 degrees of freedom, plus gripper options
• .02 degrees repeatability per joint; 
• total arm repeatability error: 1mm at fingers
• Firewire Camera for gripper tip view
• CanBUS compatible 
• Compatible with PowerBotTM

AFFORDABLE P-SERIES ROBOT ARM with optional gripper

Mounted on a Pioneer or PatrolBot and combined with Actin 3D visualization, reasoning, and control software, this arm outperforms most others in its class for payload. It can reach a soda can on the floor. Electronics include a 32-Channel servo controller with 24 free channels for adding end effectors and other peripherals. Actuators are high quality PMDC servo motors with integral gear reduction. All axes completely independent and can be controlled simultaneously. Pitching actions have integrated load balancing springs. Key joints have additional planetary ball bearing support

Pioneer/PeopleBot Gripper

GRIPPER

The Pioneer/PeopleBot Gripper is a strong, reliable 2-axis, 2 degree-of-freedom (dof) robotic manipulator and sensor. Driven by a two, reversible DC servo-motors under control of the Pioneer microcontroller, the gripper operates in open or closed state hotizontally. Front and rear break beams between the paddles indicate when an object is in grip position. In its fully down and open state, the two 1.5 inch (3cm) tall by 3.5 inch (9.5cm) deep P2 Gripper paddles, each with 2mm soft-foam pads on the inside, are 8.4 inches (21.5cm) apart and ride 1.2 inches (2.4cm) off the floor with the Pioneer 2-DX or just 0.25" (1 cm) off the floor with the AT. The paddles extend out from the Pioneer 2's main body 5 inches (11.25cm) beyond the Console edge.

The gripper paddles close together horizontally until they grasp an object or close on themselves. The grasping pressure is under software control, and varies between 0.5 lbs (170g) and 5 lbs (1.7kg). Under independent control and drive, the gripper's lift mechanism rises 4 inches (9 cm) and can lift objects weighing up to 5.5 lbs (2.5kg).

KEY FEATURES

• Nose mounted 2-axis arm allows grippers to handle objects 1 to 21.5 cm wide
• 2 degree-of-freedom gripper provides sturdy, low maintenance handling
• Twin break beams between gripper paddles provide accurate positioninginformation
• Bump sensors inside each gripper provide allow software pressure controls
• Good response time of 3 seconds from fully open to fully closed position
• Strong 5.5 lbs. (2.5kg) lift capacity
• Vertical 4-in (9cm) rise allow object to be raised high or just above the floor to avoid blocking robot sonar
• Integrated in P2OS and Saphira software
• Compatible with Pioneer PTZ Camera Systems and other Pioneer accessories except for Front Bumpers.
• Easy-to-follow gripper manual
