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
