Calculation of Inverse Kinematics for individual robot arms

Martin Raak | 30. October 2017

An interesting, unusual problem solution to the calculation of complicated Robolink® movements is offered by www.RoBo-mac.de The program, a Mathematical 3D joint Toolbox controls Direct and Inverse Kinematics, all parameter and measurements “of your robolink® arm” can become basic inputs of the calculation. The program tool not only calculates “Pick & Place” final positions, but also individual […]

NEW robolink® “gantry” unit 5+1

Martin Raak | 5. October 2017

in older posts, I presented our current solution for pick+place of e-chain parts. Cycle time of 5-6 sec/pick is the most critical issue (we can not operate much faster due to missing stiffness of the igus arm). We now solve this issue by using our arms on drylin rails, in addition we use 2 units to […]
