360° base rotation?

Lynxmotion Robot Arms

Hi,

Is there a way to have the base doing 360°?

I was thinking about using the should and elbow do reach the other side, but I’m now realizing I can’t. Is there a way to have the base cover 360° instead of 180°?

Thanks,

JMS

Hum. Thinking at loud here. I’m wondering if changing the 3rd motor for one doing 270° might allow the arm to reach the other side. 270 might not be enough…

You can replace the Base Motor with a Continuous Rotation Motor. You can mount a rotary slip ring between the base and the rotating platform.

For which product exactly?
We have many robot arms available :blush:

Good point! I have a Lynxmotion AL5D 4DOF.

@embeddedbarsha do you have a pointer to a rotary slip ring? Also, is a Continuous Rotation Motor working similar to the servo one?

Thanks.
