It is said the future is going to be increasingly influenced and driven by robots and animatronics. In fact, the journey has already begun with companies coming up with the latest models of robots and animatronics to simplify our living.
Custom Entertainment Solutions is one such company that has created a name for itself in the domain of building robots and animatronics. Among our many creations, robotic arm design is something that we are proud of.
What is a programmable robot arm?
The robotic arm is an invention in the field of robotics that has resemblance to the human arm. A robotic arm design comprises many points of motion, called “Degrees of Freedom”, or DoF. Any movement in the robotic arm becomes possible due to the combined use of 3D CAD design, engineering simulation of loads / stresses, careful programming of CNC machining, fabrications of composite parts, 3D printed parts, and final assembly and control system implementation of the mechatronic system.
A robotic arm design is similar to a human arm except that the former is a programmable robot arm while the latter is made of flesh and bones. A robotic arm may function independently or be part of a much bigger and complex robot. At Custom Entertainment Solutions, our experienced and skilled team can create a programmable robotic arm using cutting edge technologies and tools as listed below:
- 3D printing
- 3D laser scanning
- 3D CAD design and full 3D kinematic simulation
- CFD analysis simulation
- CNC plasma and CNC milling, turning, and welding
- Vacuum forming complex patterns in ABS, PETG, Styrene, and more
- Molding and casting of fiberglass, composites, plastics and rubber
- Ultra-realistic skins created using our proprietary process
Uses of a robotic arm design
An industrial robotic arm (which we do not manufacture) finds a vast usage in complex industrial applications like drilling, thermal spraying, welding, material handling and many more. With a programmable robotic arm, you can obtain a human-like ability to work in hazardous areas such as:
- Nuclear power stations
- Welding units
- Ocean floor pipeline repairing
- Utility power lines servicing
- Radioactive and other hazardous waste cleanings
A programmable robotic arm also finds great usage in the automobile manufacturing industry where car components are integrated, seamlessly, precisely, and swiftly. It is considered to be more efficient and cost effective than human labour.
Benefits of using our robotic arm design
Robotic arm design provides numerous benefits like:
- Creation of quality products
- Ensures accuracy (better than human labor)
- Delivers precision
- Provides much-required efficiency
- Attractive animatronic displays for trade shows
Our products focusing on robotic arm design include:
- DYN Hand GEN3
- Ultra Realistic Artificial Hands
- ADV Robot Hand Limited Edition
With so many advantages of using a programmable robotic arm, the future surely seems to gear up to welcome the age of automation and cyborgs. Robotics are merging with animatronics at a dizzying rate!
