54024 is a user-friendly table-top 5 axis articulated robot. The robot is constructed with die cast aluminium for durability and built with standard stepper motors in the joints. For gripper actuation, the robot uses an RC servo motor. The robot is light and easy to use. The robot consists of a dedicated motion controller. The controller is an plug-n-play controller with a USB cable for swift interfacing. The robot kit is a self-installation kit. The users can use the M-Robot software to follow the steps of installation, commissioning and operating the robot immediately. Simple online programs can be quickly written and saved. The Application Kit will consist of an aluminium profile plate, a pallet, balls (10 no's), a gravity feeder, building blocks, a paint kit.
