Review:
It was an odyssey to get one of the “Robot Arm OWI-535″-kits to my place in Germany. Six weeks after my online order the robot kit finally get here. So there it is.
Let’s look inside the box.
Whew, looks like a lot of assembly work?! But don’t worry, you learn how the mechanics work and the great assembly instruction tell you everything you need to know, by very detailed pictures.
After two to three hours the OWI-535 is fully assembled.
Let’s look how it moves:
Well controlling the robot is quite tricky, maybe I should use a microcontroller instead of my hands, but that’s part of an other project.
did you manage to controlled it using a microcontroller??
can it be controlled using a PLC??
hi guys,
i have question. What type of motor is used in this robot?? also can i increase the speed of the motor if i increased the level of Voltage above 4-D cell used.
@John: I don’t know which type they are using, maybe it’s possible to speed the motor up, by increasing the voltage, but it could also damage it.
I have completed modifying the robot arm. See my website http://www.zen21667.zen.co.uk/.
I can create a package of information that I can share to enable you to create a superb PLC!
