I need an arm that can reach into a 2.5" wide by 12" tall opening and slide out a plastic device along rails. The device is about the size of a pack of cigarettes and slides easily. The gripper doesn’t have to grip the device, it could enter sideways and just ‘hook’ it with a custom clip until it slides out of the confined area. Then it would grip the device and move it to another location.
Which arm has the smallest gripper/assembly and is the fastest? I can’t find any info on dimensions.
How fast can the arm slide 6" along a rail? I can’t find any info on speed.
Should I replace the servos if cost is not an issue? Is there anything else I can do to improve performance, etc?
How much time (just roughly) should I allow for assembly and programming if you assume I am very experienced at both?
There are specs for dimensions at the bottom of each product page.
Although much work has been done to ensure the arms can be operated in smooth less than full speed motion. The software still allows the arms to be operated at roughly the speed of the servos. Bear in mind there will be overshoot and the like trying to move the arm as fest as possible. All servos are about the same speed, so one arm isn’t really much faster than another.
The grippers an the L5 and L6 are roughly the same size as the gripper on the SES arm. Best to pick one that suits you needs best based on their operating properties.
The arms should only take a few hours to assemble.
