arm featuring all
aluminum construction
and the only fully
expandable "smart
grip" design
components. Feature
for feature, the
series presents
the most powerful
and sophisticated,
all aluminum robotic

Key
Features |
| |
All
parts are precision CNC
machined from 0.063 gauge
5052 brushed, sheet aluminum
The aluminum components
are anodized to a smooth,
scratch resistant, graphite
finish using a type II anodizing
process.
All servo pivot points use
integrated pem stud pivot
points. Integrated pem nuts
for ease of construction.
This makes construction
much easier and faster.
Pass thru holes and slots
strategically located throughout
the arm assembly for convenient
wire routing.
|
 |
|
| |
Two
integrated SPST switches for convenient
power routing to servos and supporting
electronics.
Three integrated mounting tabs
for convenient attachment to your
robotic platform The arm incorporates
a custom engineered, counterbalanced
retract system that effectively
ensures maximum lifting and efficient
servo power use both during operation
and at rest. A counter balanced
arm is critical to ensure long
servo life and maximum lifting
power.

Sensor
Engineered Grip Design |
| |
The
most critical aspect of any robotic
arm is in the design of the manipulator
or gripper. A robotic arms usefulness
and functionality is directly
related to the arms ability to
sense and successfully manipulate
its immediate environment.
The gripper assembly contains
an integrated, adjustable electronics
stand located above the gripper
assembly to accommodate an array
of CCD cameras, infrared sensors
and other sensing electronics.
The gripper contains integrated
slots to accommodate multiple
sensing opto-electronics components.
The ends of the gripper are rounded
for an even gripping surface area
regardless of the gripper angle
relative to the object being grasped.
The gripper drive system consists
of a high resolution, 60 tooth,
heavy duty, resin gear train driven
by a high torque servo - All of
these combined components are
critical for firm, precise gripper
manipulation of objects.
The rounded gripper ends can conveniently
accommodate the
pressure sensor for precise gripper
pressure measurement and control.
Cross-linked
polyethylene foam is used to line
the inside of the gripper surface
for maximum grip adhesion.

Hexcrawler Robot
|
|
A
Six Legged Robot
with the highest
quality and value
in mind for the
serious roboticist.
If you think this
robot is amazing
just by the photographs,
just wait until
you see the smooth
and fluid movements
of the Hexcrawler.

The
HexCrawler's large size and generous
number of expansion slots can
accommodate a considerable amount
of additional electronics and
hardware upgrades. The HexCrawler
Kit is designed to be a walking
platform for you to customize
and expand to your specific vision.
With a payload capacity of over
7.5 pounds, no other hexapod kit
can even come close to the rugged
design, payload capacity and expandability
of the HexCrawler.
Sensor Scanning System can
be used to overcome the limitations
of "fixed" sensors.
With additional accessories, the HexCrawler
robot may be programmed to perform
all sorts of neat movements. The
detailed manual gets you started
with a number of complete programs.
Once you have mastered the supplied
code, you can easily customize
it using your own programming
creativity.

Key
Features |
| |
| Super
stiff yet light construction
material |
: |
All aluminum components
are precision CNC machined
from incredibly strong .063
gauge 5052 aluminum sheeting. |
| Integrated
Pem Stud Pivot Points |
: |
These
spacers are used as the
servo pivot points for all
of the HexCrawlers legs.
The combination of these
spacers and the solid design
and aluminum components
are what gives the HexCrawler
it's overall rugged design
and payload capacity and
Integrated Pem Nuts. |
| Horizontally
Centered Leg Design |
: |
To
ensure equal, physical,
horizontal movement of all
legs during the HexCrawlers
walking cycle, the legs
have been physically designed
to align with the horizontal
leg servos. |
| Pass
Through Leg Design |
: |
Having
the ability to expand and
add lots of additional electronics
and sensors to your hexapod
is a key component of robotic
experimentation and development.
The HexCrawlers "pass-thru"
leg design allows you to
route and secure electronics
at any point on the legs
of the HexCrawler without
wire or electronic components
being exposed or interfering
with the operation of the
HexCrawler. |
| Expandability |
: |
Being
the largest and lightest
hexapod available, the HexCrawler
has ample room to accommodate
a multitude of additional
sensors and hardware add-ons.
Multiple expansion slots
and holes have been strategically
placed on both "decks"
of the HexCrawler as well
as the front and rear support
brackets for the addition
of hardware and electronics. |
| Adjustability |
: |
Unlike
hexapods made from heavy,
non-adjustable, plastics
and other materials, the
HexCrawler's legs are fully
adjustable. Each leg offers
2 fulcrum points to choose
from in the event your HexCrawler
needs to carry extra heavy
loads. |
| Dimensions
|
: |
Overall
dimensions - 19.56"
X 15.75" (49.68cm X
40.00cm) leg to leg. |
| Prototyping
Space |
: |
282
sq. inches (1819.35 sq.
cm) of total prototyping
space is available on the
HexCrawler body. |

Tilt
Pan System
|
|
With
it's generous sensor
mounting area, multiple
sensors can be mounted
easily
and quickly. To
ensure full panning
clearance, an internal
servo mount design
was implemented
to allow it
to pan a full 180+
degrees. Ultrasonic
Sensors, Infrared
Sensors, Mini CCD Cameras
etc can be easily
mounted.
The tiltpan was designed
with a forward lean
of 40 degrees to
allow it to
tilt a full 180
degrees straight
up and down without
the assembly
being in the field
of view.
|
|
|
| |
To ensure rock stable operation,
4 stabilizer pads support the
panning assembly during operation.
2 servos with heavy duty resin
gears ensure long, rugged, hassle
free operation. |
