Mechanical interface
Mechanical Overview
This chapter introduces the mechanical and the electrical interfaces of Ned.
Ned is a 6-axis collaborative robotic arm. It consists mainly of six robot joints of aluminum with plastic covers. Ned consists of 7 parts :
Three-view of the robot
Tool mounting
Each tool has the same mechanical connector interface. This option allows a quick-change option of the tool and good stability. See the picture below.
Vision Set mounting
To mount the Vision Set, all you need to do is attach the camera to Ned’s wrist, set up and fix your workspace to Ned’s structure to have a stable environment and put the vision jaws on the Custom Gripper.
Robot calibration
Ned is delivered without a mechanical calibration. Ned can not execute any motion properly without auto-calibration because of a mismatch between the origin of each motor and its corresponding origin stored in the controller.
Note
Make sure to process the calibration in order to align the origins of every joint.
Hint
Check Niryo Studio Manual to get more information about Ned’s calibration.
