Hello everyone!
I hope you are doing well. I had a question regarding building custom robots from a STEP file, I have followed the tutorial Model your robot, and visited several forums, but I cannot seem to make all of the joints of my robot rotate correctly. I attached the station I made from the STEP file I use, the things is when I try to input the dimensions according to the robot drawing, they seem to be incomplete or incorrect, here is the Robot Datasheet, I asked the clientabout them and they sent me the attached photo with dimensions in red, which I also think is incorrect.
The following photo shows how it looks when I try to use the parameters they sent me, the robot is not even aligned.
When I try to do it following the measurements I did on my own using Solidworks meaning d1= 345.762, a2= 0, joint 1 and joint 2 rotate correctly, the others ones do not, but I measured other dimensions and I believe to be a3 = 450 mm, the other ones I am not sure about but the client claims they are: d4: 425.500 and d6: 114.500. I have been scratching my brain as to how to do this, but I still have nothing.
Here is a photo of my robot, as you can the base reference frame I used is at the bottom of the robot with the correct orientation and z axis going into it, I know it may have something to do with the reference frames of each individual object, but I splitted STEP file in robodk, I am not sure how I should approach changing the reference frame of each object. I would appreciate it if someone has any input on the subject, let me know if I am missing any relevant attachments. Thank you.
Best,
Estefania Mireles.
