HALO (Infinite Rotation Arm)
This idea originally came from Nicholas Seward and Apsu. After talking with them I decided to add my own spice and ended up actually creating a prototype. The design seems to be totally feasible and practical from what I have found.

  • @pflagerquist3071
    @pflagerquist3071 Год назад

    Little late to suggest this, but one way to remove some of the cable issues would be to couple its rotation to the 1st arm segment using the shaft you already run up there. This would keep the the cable from being draged around by the the arm. One thin i would be wary of is the spool placement, as it might get in the way especially if you want to use a springsteal strip to keep the wires from drooping into the toolpath when you raise the arm. Looks awsome, good luck!

    • @KoalDesigns

      Lots of trial and error. Generally based off of a circular tooth profile, but it really doesn't matter as the accuracy of 3D printing is very limiting.

    Just found ur project, awesome! First thought: why do u have a turning effector unit? Stiff mounted would save so weight. Or do u need it for calculating/ controlling the movement?

    • @KoalDesigns
      @KoalDesigns Год назад

      Rotating effector is to reduce the error of arm sag. Because the arm is angled under its own weight, having the rotating end allows the hotend to maintain the same relative angular position in all directions with the base.

    Great design! The problem of the wires wrapping around at higher z coordinates should be a non problem if the printer is direct drive, because the filament should be taught enough to spin the spool

  • @ronnetgrazer362
    @ronnetgrazer362 2 года назад

    Very nice! Looking forward to see it perform. For the SCARA arm I've been planning for ages I wanted to go cable drive but infinite rotation is just too good to forego. So belt drive it is, but aren't you worried about backlash? GT2 or GT3? Expected precision at end effector? Lately, I've been trying to figure out ways to get rid of the slip ring rotary contacts. Rejected low power, low efficiency induction coils. Landed on thrust bearing pairs for power transfer. Might also work on bearings designed for axial load, but only with electrically conductive silicone lube. Might. For data, either something wireless and low latency (RF24?), but I'm looking at an optically isolated half duplex serial bus right now (so like RS485), where the twisty turny bit has the photodiode/LED pairs looking at each other through a darkened joint shaft. It would be cheaper than slip rings, less noisy, less wear. Potentially slower, though I think 38400 baud should be doable. Also it still needs to be developed. Sorry for ranting, this has been keeping me up at night.

    • @KoalDesigns
      @KoalDesigns 2 года назад

      For a general robotic arm that probably could work. For my use case I'm just using a cheap slip ring I bought on AliExpress (I think it's rated for 2A per wire which is fairly low). I'm running this at a higher voltage (24-28V) as to not put too much current through the slip ring. My plans don't entail using anything with a high power draw I think it will work fine. Your idea of a main power system with digital signals being sent externally would work fairly well I think but is more suited to larger applications (I assume) because you still need some form of conversion from power and digital signal to analog for motors and sensors to use.

    • @ronnetgrazer362
      @ronnetgrazer362 2 года назад

      @@KoalDesigns Agreed, not everyone wants MCUs strewn along the length of their arm. And stepper drivers aren't weightless. Those 2A wires can also be doubled up for more power and less noise, so there's that. There are 3 points of infinite rotation in my design, so that's what put me on this trail. Thanks for your input!

    @DMonZ1988 2 года назад

    hey, great to hear from you! this is so cool! i was pondering 360 degree scara mechanics not long ago and here you are again with such an amazing new idea. i wouldn't have thought that motor mass is a particularly big concern for scara mechanics as long as it is close to the centre column... and so it wasn't a major design goal in my thinking, but your solution for leaving them ALL in the base is genius. really creative, effective, interesting, and definitely brings a bunch of additional advantages. any hurdles it brought, you seem to have already overcome. its extremely cool to see it working so well! keep up the great work and please do keep posting videos. have there been any developments with your larger scara? the (was it cycloidal or strain wave most recently?) gearbox looked really promising, it would be nice to see it working with the latest refinements. thank you for sharing your ideas, i really find these videos very cool. until next time, best wishes!

    • @KoalDesigns
      @KoalDesigns 2 года назад

      I actually put the large SCARA arm on the back burner due to the complexity of it and having failed many times (I think I did 4 or 5 total rebuilds with all of them failing in some way), so I decided to do something smaller (more manageable) but equally cool so you get this.

  • @killapoof
    @killapoof 2 года назад

    I wonder if you could couple the movement of the to to the proximal arm movement so that it's not driven by the wires

    • @KoalDesigns
      @KoalDesigns 2 года назад

      Theoretically its possible, I was thinking about doing that actually but then decided that it adds more complexity than it is worth.

  • @edatki
    @edatki 2 года назад

    Neat. I was in the middle of building a scara a while back but was having issues with the elbow joint so I had the idea just use a linear axis instead. So I basically had a rotating base with z and x axes on top. I called it an inverted polar and much like this design it was capable of printing in 360 degrees around itself. There's a video up on my channel, I've done several iterations of it since then and it proved to be a very reliable and versatile machine up until recently when I left it in my car and the printed parts deformed in the heat.

    • @KoalDesigns
      @KoalDesigns 2 года назад

      Haha yes I have actually seen your videos before. A few years ago I actually modeled up an inverted polar printer as well but decided not to pursue it. It is a great design you have going with it.
