If you fancy building your very own robot, you may be interested in a new project tutorial that allows you to create an Arduino-based delta robot with Delta 3D printer. The modular kit has been created by Doan Hong Trung and is based on an Arduino Mega and a RAMPS 1.4 board. Check out the videos below to learn more about the first open-source Delta robot kit, which will soon be launching via Kickstarter.
Versatility of Delta Robots
“If you’ve ever seen a delta 3D printer work, you’ve certainly been amazed at the careful coordination of three motors to accurately position a carriage. While impressive in this role, delta robots can be used for much more, from laser engraving, to pick-and-place operations, to automated phone testing, or even playing the piano.”
Delta robots are known for their high speed and precision, making them ideal for a variety of applications. For instance, in the manufacturing industry, delta robots are often used for assembly tasks, packaging, and sorting. Their ability to move quickly and accurately makes them perfect for tasks that require repetitive motion. Additionally, delta robots are used in the food industry for tasks such as sorting and packaging food items, ensuring hygiene and efficiency.
Building Your Own Delta Robot
For those interested in robotics and DIY projects, building your own delta robot can be a rewarding experience. The Delta X kit simplifies this process by providing all the necessary components and detailed instructions. The kit includes an Arduino Mega, a RAMPS 1.4 board, stepper motors, and other essential parts. By following the tutorial, you can assemble the robot and program it to perform various tasks.
One of the exciting aspects of building your own delta robot is the ability to customize it for specific applications. For example, you can add a laser engraver to create intricate designs on different materials, or you can equip it with a gripper to pick and place objects with precision. The possibilities are endless, and the open-source nature of the Delta X kit allows for continuous improvement and innovation.
