R17 Robotic Arm

Overview

The R17 is a cost-effective, self-contained vertically articulated robot arm designed for processes requiring long reach and/or difficult access. It uses lightweight, high-speed hybrid stepping motors micro-stepped for power and speed, with onboard encoders for collision detection. The HS version uses high-power servos for faster performance. It includes a multi-processor controller with ROBOFORTH II software, easy to program with English commands. Optional accessories include grippers, tool changers, and linear track. Supports ROS, LabView, Matlab.
