4-Axis-SCARA Arm possible?
-
Dear forum,
I currently run various printers (IDEX, Delta, Cartesian) using DuetWifi.
I'm looking to build a pick and place machine, similar to this one: 4-Axis-SCARA Arm.
Looking at the "ConfiguringRepRapFirmwareSCARAPrinter" wiki 3 axis SCARA will work.
Is there any way I can use the fourth axis? The fourth axis does not have to move at the same time as the other three. I'm thinking of making the fourth axis the "U" axis?
Any ideas if this would work?
Thanks

IIRC @koaldesigns built a SCARA with a rotational tool / fourth axis. Check the forum for their posts.

...now I understand what is meant with fourth axis'.
IMHO it wouldn't be a problem, if the hand would always grip the part centered. Offcenter rotation would be tricky, I guess
