getting started - create robot

#1
Hi folks!
Happy to find RobotDK and I am pretty sure it will meet my needs. Since my older robot, a Nachi SA160F is not included in the library, I am trying to create it. I tried following the instructions in this video (has no sound!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZQ0uriwApY&t=203s
 
I get stuck about where the "base reference" is filled in and then the "base","Joint 1" ...ect. In the video they select IRB1200 but there is nothing to select on my attempt.

I thought I would compare what I was entering with a robot from Nachi you do have in your library the ST166F (it is the updated SA160F) but I can't find the data that would have been put into d1,a2,d2,a3,a4,d4,d5. I also cannot figure out how to use the speed information of the SA160F such as "strike" (what is that?). The "Parameters" window for the ST166F has four values but the data for the ST166F has values for each joint ...see:
http://www.nachirobotics.eu/upload/files...F-210F.pdf

I thought perhaps I could modify the RobotDK model of the ST166F but the A4 dimension is positive on the ST166F and negative on the SA166F.

and the last question, how do I model the outline of my created robot? I asked Nachi for the STL files but apparently since I am not Chrysler corp. ....no answer.

Help please?

Hi Keshka,

Hope you are well.

If you don't have the 3D model of the robot, you will have a hard time.
You can try to use a CAD software to do a modelization of it.

Do you have the 2D drawing of the robot?

RoboDK does not support different joint speed values for a robot. You have to apply joint speed to each joint equally.

Thanks Jeremy;
next question, if I go to the trouble to create a 3d rendering of my robot, how do I "attach" it to the kinematic robot I created in RoboDK?

When you create a robot, you can select the different pieces of the robot to attach to each joint. 

   

If the robot is already created, you can enter developer mode (ctrl+Alt+Shift+G), right-click the robot and select "Modify Robot".

Hello, did you end up making a 3d model for the SA160? I'm currently in the same situation.

We haven't Nachi SA160 in our online library now, but as it's a standard industrial robot you can create it by yourself using the following manual:
