Handling Robot Mover4 HD, 4 Axis, 500 g

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

The Mover4 HD is a four-axis robot arm designed for use in schools and colleges. The Mover4 HD allows realistic automation scenarios to be simulated. It can be set up as a movement platform and combines physics, mathematics and information technology in such a way that they are made tangibly real. The robot arm has four serial axes and can therefore move through three dimensions and tilt its hand to specific angles.

Mover4 HD robot arm:

• Payload: 500 g
• Maximum range: 550 mm including gripper hand
• Electrically operated parallel grippers
• Ports: 9-pin I/O with 3 DI/4 DO, CAN programming interface
• Positioning accuracy: 1 mm
• Weight: 3.5 kg
• Supply: 12 V via wide-range power supply 100 V – 240 V, 47 Hz – 63 Hz
• A PC is required to control operations

3D programming software

CPRog controller software uses a modern user interface and interactive 3D graphics to provide a direct introduction to programming movements for a robot arm. The robot can be moved via keys or by means of a joy-pad. Programmes can be created or edited using a graphic editor. The licence allows for installation of a set for a whole classroom.

Alternatively, the robot can be operated using ROS (Robot Operating System made by Willow Garage) and appropriate packages are available for this.
