Missing files from Aluminum Tubing Arm assembly ? by robli67

Hi all,

Forgive me for my boldness,

Does anyone have a CAD model of their robot arm using Pipes and willing to share it?

I am new to solid works, and will just like to see an actual built model using the CAD parts on this site.

Thanks
Izy

You mean CADpipe software? This really seems intended for structures and buildings. Not sure how popular it is for products.
At this time we mainly offer CAD files produced by the community, and most were done in SolidWorks.

Hi all,

When i download the “Aluminum Tube Arm” Solid Works file from: lynxmotion.com/s-5-ses-3d-models.aspx
and open it on Solid Works i get the error that the file “asb-13.sldprt” has been found but the file ID does not match.

Also the “Servo_complete.SLDASM” file is missing.

I tried renaming one of the servo assembly files i downloaded from there to “Servo_complete.SLDSM” but like above the file ID does not match.

I used both the “asb-13” and “Servo_complete” files anyway but they do not fit on the brackets. And all the Mates are separated.

**Does **anyone have the missing files ?
Or
Does anyone have a complete solid works model for the “Aluminum Tubing Arm” i can get from them :slight_smile: ?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated aswell.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi not the CADpipe software :laughing:

Well after looking through i saw there are in fact a Solidworks model i want entitled “Aluminum Tubing Arm”

Its just that some files are missing from it and most of the mates are removed. I was wondering if anyone had an updated version of this “Aluminum Tubing Arm” solid works file ?

I made a thread before :

Thanks for your time thus far :slight_smile:

To open that assembly, you need additional parts available on that download page (all saved under the same file), including the servo assembly under “servos”.

Hey thanks i did that,
All the parts such as tubing, hub connectors and other parts were built fine. its just the Servo and the ASB-13 that are giving problems.

The servo, after i renamed it because there isn’t such a file called Servo_complete that solid works was asking for, was too small for the brackets.

The ASB-13 which is the dual Mulit-purpose bracket, was too large.

PS
While solid works was building the assembly file it promted that these two parts had the wrong file ID, so i think they are indeed the wrong parts. They are not the parts used in the assembly but for something else.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Unfortunately the previous owners did not design the parts in 3D CAD, but we’ll see what can be done, at least for future products.

ok i understand.

thanks
