3D model prototype of Capstan drive robotic arm. Ideas?
 |
-This is a really rough 3d model of a capstan drive robot arm I am trying to build. My plan is to use fast and high RPM motors high gear reductions to get high precision and torque. -My goal is to use capstan drives as the end speed reducer because they are low backlash and precise, and then use belt drives and maybe planetary gear boxes to get the higher gear reduction in the earlier stages. This way if there is a little bit of backlash in the planetary gear box, that backlash gets divided by 1/8th. -For the first prototype I am printing I plan to use Aaed Musa capstan design, but later when I make the final product I will design my own. -Any ideas how to improve the deign or improve the robotic arm in general? -Dimensions: 3ft ish submitted by /u/Safe_Tone1529 |
