I am looking for an arm that can lift one pound and has wrist rotation, which one would be best?

@DigiOz Welcome to the RobotShop Community. One pound (~454g) is actually quite a lot for a hobby robot arm, and the question is, at what reach? For example 600mm: https://www.robotshop.com/en/mover6-6dof-robot-arm.html

Hi everyone, I’m looking for the best Robotic Arm kit under $500 that can lift at least 1lbs. I have always been interested in robotics and I set a goal to build a robotic arm that can pour a soda. It may sound silly, but hey have fun while you can. So my needs: Lift 1lbs Hav…

@DigiOz Best to put all of the requirements into one post rather than several. Robotic arms under $500 can be found here: [image] Robotic Arms & Grippers Explore diverse robotic arms and grippers for automation, research, and hobby projects. Modular kits, industrial-g…

Thank you. I was afraid you would say that. My research has shown that the actuators to move that at anything more than 10-20 cm start to get really expensive. For it to work for what I want it will need to be at least 60-90 cm. I guess I could do a liner actuator with a shorter…

If you can get creative enough with the mechanics, there’s likely a way to do it all with one actuator, gears etc. If you prefer an actuator per axis, Linear actuators can raise weight, servos can rotate, and your choice for a custom claw which can hold a can. Propose drawing you…

Hi @Chiza I have a similar project, I want to lift a soda can and pour it. What did you end up using? Or did you ever get your project working?
