I’ve modeled a robot from scratch in SolidWorks and I’m currently having trouble configuring it properly within the RoboDK environment. I’m using the Build/Modify Mechanism or Robots tool. It's an articulated robot, and I created both 4-DOF and 5-DOF versions.
From what I understand, the most appropriate configuration options would be 4 axes (Generic) or 5 axes (Generic). However, I'm having a really hard time setting up the rotation directions the way I need.
Has anyone run into a similar issue and could share some advice or guidance?
Thanks in advance!

Can you share the 3D models with your RoboDK project and the parameters you are trying to use. A sketch of your robot kinematics would also help us help you.

ok! here is the file I'm trying to control the project

If you can divide it into a tree stack of 5 mechanisms, each with one rotative axis, it will do the job. The hierarchy will be as follows.

Code:

    Base axis Mechanism Frame
      Base Axis Mechanism
          Axis 2 frame
            Axis 2 Mechanism
                Axis 3 frame
                    Axis 3 Mechanism
                      Axis 4 Frame
                          Axis 4 Mechanism
                              Tool (if Any)

Programming that becomes a bit tedious as you have to select each axis as a separate robot, but it all works in the end. When creating the mechanism, follow the schematic and align each axis accordingly. Once the mechanism is made, you can position it however you want. I would suggest copying the mechanism components on a single frame, and once the mechanism is made, aligning with the CAD assembly.

And you can then move the entire thing by moving the base frame, as everything is stacked under it.
Hope it helps  :D
