9# Manufacturing of the 5th and 6th axis

A project log for Dynamic 6-Axis Robot from scratch

I developed a 6 axis robot with half a meter reach and 3kg payload. It is servo driven and features absolut encoders on all axis.

The 6th axis is the most integrated and thus most complex axis of the robot. In a small form factor it includes:

- 12bit incremental motor encoder

- BLDC motor

- wave gear

- 18 bit absolut magnetic encoder

- bearing arrangement

- peripheral connector for sensors and actuators

- output mechanical interface

all housed in a 3D printed aluminium enclosure, which allows high stiffness and hear dissipation

The completed 5th and 6th axis hand assembly:
