DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF A 6 DEGREE OF FREEDOM ROBOTIC ARM

Abstract

The paper presents the design and manufacturing process for a 6 degrees of freedom robotic arm. The robotic arm was designed using the Fusion 360 program, after which the components of the robotic arm were manufactured using two CNC machines, namely: a Beaver VC5 milling machine and the Okuma Lb1 lathe. After assembling the robotic arm, tests for functionality were performed by actuating the stepper motors that are attached to the robot arm. The tests performed validated the performances of the robotic system.
