AR4 as a Soldering Robot
Im developing this project since january, so here are the results. Here Its the extruder mechanism I used an MK8 extruder with neumatic coupler, because every jam or material load the TCP move so I use it on the wrist to avoid this. /images/forum/media/2603ae0c02d6a8c9.mp4 So the next step was the parameters for soldering, so on the AR4 HMI I use the TCP lineal speed at 2mm/s and 1arc/s at extruder for the speed so the results were very great https://cqpppstrkbfubfnjwcuc.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/community-media/legacy/27a4f3f3-AR4-as-a-Soldering-Robot_video_2.mp4 A good soldering /images/forum/media/123350fc2f98f297.avif And ejoying a good soldering platform /images/forum/media/5b589b38b997ab86.mp4 Thanks @chrisannin annin for the AR4 project, now Im developing the way to make very cool channel letters

AR4 as a soldering robot
Developing this project since January. I used an MK8 extruder with a pneumatic coupler on the wrist, because every jam or material load moved the TCP. For soldering parameters, on the AR4 HMI I use a TCP linear speed of 2 mm/s and 1 arc/s at the extruder, and the results were great.

My AR4, planning to control it with RoboDK. I bought the complete kit in the US and shipped it to Ecuador, and everything is perfect. I think there's a better way to route the cables; I will post more about this later. This is the enclosure.
