The most compact 6-axis articulated robot

The mechArm270 -M5 belongs to the “mechArm” series of six-axis articulated robotic arms from Elephant Robot. It uses a M5 Stack Basic main control and supports ROS simulation software. It is an industrial-like configuration launched by Elephant Robot for maker innovation and robot industry-university- research services.
The body weight of mechArm270 -M5 is 1kg, the payload is 250g, and the working radius is 270mm. The design is compact and portable. It is small but powerful, easy to operate, and can work with people safely. As the first small six-axis robotic arm of Elephant Robot, it has three advantages of ease of use, safety and economy, and is a cost-effective choice.

Classic industrial configuration, the first choice for robotic enthusiast

• The most classic six-axis centrosymmetric structure of industrial robots, compact and robust.
• The preferred platform for universal and vocational education, colleges and individu-al development, applying what you have learned to break through the barriers of production, education and research.

Embedded Raspberry Pi ecology, Dual-screen unlimited development possibil- ities

• Support Arduino rich software application ecology
• mechArm carries two display screens, supports 3 physical buttons, and supports fastLED library, which is convenient for expanding application interactive output

Highly opened source, compatible with massive software and API

• Compatible with a various of API software, built-in ROS/Moveit to simulate the operation state of the manipulator, super expansibility
• From introductory drag teaching and Blockly visual programming to industrial practical operation platform, one machine opens up the whole platform of industry, academia and research.

High configuration, powerful performance

• The use of brushless DC servos can achieve a repeat positioning accuracy of ±1mm.
• The base and the end are equipped with installation interfaces, which are suitable for the development of various peripheral products and equipment.
