That repeatability is plenty good enough to drop work into an automatic holding fixture (which does the final precision positioning) then pick the pieces out for transfer to another manufacturing stage or into a box.

In the event that anyone else wants to know the specs on the robot, here is what I found on page 298 of the manual: Reach – 24.75 inches (62.9cm) Payload – 4.15 lbs (1.9kg) Repeatability - .2mm Robot weight (aluminum) – 27lbs (12.25kg) Enclosure weight – 12.5lbs (5.6kg) Max Power Consumption – 8.25amp (198 watts) Reach and payload are decent, but repeatability is 10x worse than typical industrial arms. Still a very intriguing system. Not sure I envy the designer trying to support buyers of his kits though. There are an awful lot of bits and pieces and assembly steps. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
