Articulated Robotic Arm Trainer

EduArmBot-250

EduArmBot-250 is a six-axis (plus extra 2 axis) articulated robotic arm designed to teach the industrial robot technology in the simplest and most entertaining way. It connects to the USB / serial port of your computer and is controlled via Robotic Control Software. Full command protocol (Visual B, Visual C etc.) is also supplied for software developers who would like to control EduArmBot-250 250 from their own robotic control software.

Additional on board analogue/digital inputs and digital outputs allow EduArmBot-250 to be interfaced with other devices to form a sophisticated robotic system.

EduArmBot-250 is fully modular and can easily be mounted on to mobile vehicles as well as used as stand-alone.

EduArmBot-250 is supplied assembled including:

Gripper Mechanism Or Suction Cap End Effector
Eight Channel R/C Servo Controller
D-9 serial cable.
DC power supply.
The Control Software.
Fully illustrated User Manual.

Mechanics

The body is made of acetal and the arm links are made of anti-static PVC sheet. Optional Steel Base provides stability to the arm. All the axes are driven by R/C servomotors. Fully modular mechanical design also means that EduArmBot-250 can be mounted on virtually any surface as well as being used as a stand alone robotic arm.

Electronics

The heart of the EduArmBot-250 is R/C Servo Controller. With two analogue inputs, four digital inputs and three digital outputs, it can easily be interfaced with a wide range of external devices. It is fully addressable and up to four robots can be controlled from one PC (subject to available comports).

Programming

EduArmBot-250 is controlled by the Control Software, supplied free with the robot. Full command protocol is also supplied for software developers who wish to control EduArmBot-250 from their own control software.

Control Software features include:-

The robot can be controlled either manually or through a program sequence.
All analogue/digital input and digital output states can be observed constantly and controlled by a mouse click on the screen.
Different configuration settings for different applications can be created for immediate recall, i.e. servo limits, park position, labels, operational mode, etc.
The robot is programmed by the use of easy-to-use and efficient single-character commands.
Programming can be carried out in either Design Mode or Record Mode. In Record mode, any change you make on the screen controls is automatically inserted in the text box as program code. You may also edit and save these entries in Design Mode.
A comprehensive Help Menu is incorporated within the software.
