Delta robot with Arduino
@ October 18, 2011
Delta robot with multi-tool end effector
Cost to build:
$50
Time to build:
20 hours
URL to more information:
- CPU: Arduino Nano
This is my first delta robot. It isn't perfect yet, but it works. I tried to use different tools in the end-effector. A vacuum pump made with a syringe and a pen for drawing. Other details, the code and pictures here: http://robottini.altervista.org/delta-robot-with-arduino

Not bad at all
Hey thats a cool robot I always wanted to make one of those.
You may check the link below which shows a different approach to the making of a delta robot .

When I showed a delta robot to my CNC instructor
he said that they are good in the pick and place roll, but, not so good for attempting to machine because they lack accuracy.
On a completely different note, it is always good to see deltas constructed. Maybe someday I will build one for fun too. :)

For me the difficult is to find good ball joints, cheap, with 3mm hole for the arms. I think the problem is the hardware, not the software. That do you think?

Pretty cool
This just goes to prove that a basic delta robot is fairly cheap to make.
The robot is a bit imprecise, most likely due to play in the joints. It would still work great for a pick and place task, such as sorting a bucket of nuts/bolts/washers by size/material. Actually, I should build that, I always have bags of random stuff that need sorting.

Not bad
Not bad. Not bad at all! Certainly you used way more sturdy materials than I did in my "m&m sorter #3"
Can we have some closeup photos of the details?
And the green frame thing, is that your wifes coffee table?

I'm sorry but I have
I'm sorry but I have already cannibalized the delta to make a new one! I hope to finish soon
