Custom building this Arm

Hello, yes many people have built the arm this way.

Hello, yes you can find all the part detail in the build manual in the Bill of Materials section. The CAD model files are all names accordingly to the BOM in the manual.

thanks for your response

.Once after acquired the AR4 MK3 CAD Models (SolidWorks & STEP files) and I would like to proceed with CNC machining the aluminum parts.

Before starting, I wanted to confirm a few points:

• Are the provided CAD files fully suitable for CNC machining without additional modifications?

• Are there any specific parameters, tolerances, or machining requirements that I should provide to the CNC operator to ensure the parts assemble correctly?

• Do you have any recommendations or tips to maintain the precision and integrity of the robotic arm components during machining?

I appreciate any guidance or documentation you can share to ensure a smooth manufacturing process.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello, the CAD models include the .sldprt and .step files so they should work with your CNC software. I dont have any specifics for parameters or machining requirements. I would just recommend making sure all the bearing race journals are a light press fit and the bearing posts are a slip fit.

Hi Santhosh,

I have done this twice already, here are the forum posts documenting my 2 builds.

First build: AR3 later converted to AR4: https://anninrobotics.com/community/robot-builds/ar3-in-florida

Second build, this summer with my nephew and his friend:

The machining from the CAD model is pretty straightforward and can be done with a 3 axis and a lathe. Please note that some parts need to be 3D printed (enclosure, covers)

Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Pierre any chance you might be able to email me at [email removed] ?regarding CNC segment.
