Example Use Cases
Robotic CNC Tending
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "Chris Annin" Titled "AR2 / AR3 robot CNC tending" ( ~4.5 Minute Watch Time )
Robotic Welding
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "sirhaxalot" Titled "AR3 (annin robotics) Welding with Mig" (Seems to use a standard Weld Gun, not a Welding End Effector (may need a better name) ) ( ~1 Minute Watch )
Misc Automation / Cobot Applications
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "ME 3DP" Titled "Automating My Morning Routine" ( ~3 Minute Watch )
- Automates the loading of a K-Cup into a Keurig K-Duo Plus Coffee Maker (With removal of "spent" one if need be), and placing a cup, as well as any associated button pressing
- This is all done with human io, no automation short of the robotic arm and it's program
- This is how many Cobot tasks will be done since Design for Humans / Design for Robots tend to differ
- Goofy example, but shows how an AR4 could be used for Cobot Tasks
BOM
Stepper Motors
- A Kit from Stepper Online Titled "AR4 Robot Complete Electric Package | Stepper Motor, Driver and Power Supply" (~617 USD for a single order, 5+ goes for 601.98 USD each, and 10+ goes for 587.29 USD each)
- Any Spreadsheet of this i can grab and copy + paste for Self Sourcing of Parts (could manually transcribe if need be too)
Kits
By Annin Robotics
- The AR4 Complete Combo Kit (1,189.00 USD (+ Shipping?) )
- This does not include the stepper motors (see the BOM for the kit, as well as the list), and printed parts (files are free, just need to account for filament cost etc)
- Combining Both the Kits Comes Out To 1790.98 USD Per Robot Arm (Without any End Effector or More Advanced Control Box)
