Kilian's Robot Shop of Horrors - 05/10/2002
![]() Brynn bought this PUMA 560 robot at an auction. |
![]() The controller box looks like this. |
![]() And you can even find documentation if you look hard enough. |
![]() This is the back of the shoulder joint. |
![]() The teaching pendant. |
![]() So Brynn decided to do something a little too stupid. He is about a foot from the arm and is turning it on for the first time. |
![]() It was decided it would be safer to move the arm to the middle of the garage so it won't hit anybody. |
![]() We have plenty of help now. |
![]() The bottom of the controller. |
![]() There was a break in the action. So of course we must take it apart. |
![]() There are two big motors in the shoulder area. |
![]() Side view with the cover removed. |
![]() A manipulator on the end. It has two pneumatic actuators. |
![]() Jeff's new Homelite Weed Whacker with electric start. |
![]() Front view with cover removed. |
![]() Side view. It has a solenoid on the carburator. |
![]() It only has 4 C cell nicad batteries to start it. |
![]() Ron has these cute little stepper motors. He is toying with the idea of making a robot to stack salt crystals. |
![]() He wanted to know the pitch of the lead screw so he put it under the microscope. Looks like 5 mil pitch. |
![]() Here is the lead screw again with better lighting. |
![]() And this is what sand paper looks like from the side. |
![]() Bruce brought over an argon laser that doesn't work any more. |
![]() He is taking the cover off the power supply. |
![]() The power supply looks like this inside. |
![]() It is this color when it is working. |
