Product Overview
We, Exact Dynamics, are a highly respected company with over 20 years experience in building advanced robotic systems.
The iARM is a robot arm designed and extensively proven as safe robot arm for personal, research, laboratory, educational, and academic use. Its low pricing in combination with its incredible feature list makes it a highly competitive product.
High Dexterity
The iARM offers 6 degrees of freedom, allowing the arm to find its way even in highly cluttered environments. The arm can reach at a distance of almost 1 meter. Additionally, five out of its six joints allow infinite rotation, making the robot arm highly dexterous.
Handle All Objects
The iARM is the strongest robot arm in its class. Handling payloads up to 1.5 kg., the iARM can manipulate a great variety of objects. This gives the iARM for example enough strength to carry out all kind of activities of daily living, which is a common task for mobile service robots.
Safe and Slim Design
The iARM has been designed for use by physically challenged people with severe motor limitations. Therefore, the product is extremely safe. Its unique design allows the product to be folded in an extremely compact volume. Weighing less than 9 kilograms, the iARM can easily be integrated in existing systems. All wiring is hidden behind the product covers, which not only increases safety but also gives the iARM a friendly appearance.
Operation & Programming
The arm can be operated with through a 250Kbit CAN interface. In combination with a highly intuitive Application Programmers Interface (API) the arm offers several operation modes, one for each type of use, including Cartesian position and velocity control.
