The L6AC-KT Lynx 6 Robotic Arm Combo Kit for PC (serial port) from Lynxmotion features base rotation, shoulder, elbow, wrist motion, wrist rotate, and a functional gripper.
About the Robot Arm
The Lynx 6 robotic arm delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable movement. The robot features; base rotation, shoulder, elbow, wrist motion, wrist rotate, and a functional gripper. The Lynx 6 robotic arm is an affordable system with a time tested rock solid design that will last and last. Everything needed to assemble the robot is included in the kit. New! We now have RIOS, a very powerful Windows program for the SSC-32 servo controller.
The Mechanics
The robotic arm is made from ultra-tough laser-cut Lexan structural components, black anodized aluminum servo brackets, and custom injection molded components. The arm includes four Hitec HS-475 servo motors. The base uses an HS-422. An HS-85 and an HS-81 is included for the gripper.
Controlling the Arm
RIOS (Robotic arm Interactive Operating System) is a Windows program for controlling the L5 and L6 Robotic Arms with our SSC-32 servo controller. With RIOS, your robot can be taught sequences of motion via the mouse or joystick. The inverse kinematics engine makes positioning the arm effortless. This extremely powerful program uses external digital and analog inputs to affect the robot's motion for closed loop projects. If-then, for-next, and do-while, are supported for the inputs. External outputs can also be controlled. This has been verified to work with an I/OGear USB to serial cable. If stand alone operation is desired, RIOS/SSC-32 can actually create the BASIC code to control the arm from our Bot Board and Basic Atom or Basic Stamp 2. Requires the purchase of a programming Starter Pack listed below. Note, DB9 Serial Data Cable included with L6AC-KT. Alternately the servo motors can be controlled directly from a microcontroller. We sell the arm without electronics for these options.
New 3D image capture!
With the addition of a GP2D12 sensor it is now possible to do experimental 3D image capturing with the latest version of RIOS
Important!
To keep costs down we are not providing printed Assembly Guides. They are provided online, so you will need to print them when you order the kits. By providing the Assembly Guides online we can provide more detailed and up to date information than the old hardcopy method allowed.
