Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: Does it support secondary development of functions?

A1: Of course. You can use our API (Python、C++、C#、Javascript) to control mechArm directly or remotely or dive directly into the ROS code, which is open-source.

Q2: What you can learn?

A2: 

With mechArm M5 , you can learn that

Hardware: Embedded Microcontroller Based on ESP32, Motor and Steering Gear, M5Stack Basic/ Atom;

Software: Arduino, UiFlow, Myblockly, Mind+, RoboFlow, C#, C++, Python, Javascript, ROS，MoveIt, Communication Data, Virtual Machines & Linux (visual system).

With mechArm Pi, you can learn that

Hardware: microprocessor, motor and steering gear;

Software: Myblockly, Mind+, RoboFlow, C#, C++, Python, Javascript, ROS, MoveIt.

Q3: How long it lasts?

A3: It uses adapter power instead of battery power. It can work all the time as long as power supply. But we don't suggest keeping it working for a long time.Just like you use a computer, letting it take a rest at times is better.

Q4: How much weight can it lift / grip?

A4: mechArm 270: The net weight of mechArm is 1kg, the payload is 250g, and the working range is 270mm.

Q5: What is warranty on this?

A5: We provide customers with return and warranty services.Return service is limited to goods not opened within 7 days after the receipt date of logistics of the products. The freight or other risks incurred in return shall be borne by the customer.During the warranty period of the delivered product, the company only repairs the malfunctions that occur during the normal use of the robot for free. For more warranty content, please check out on the product details page.

Q6: How long will it take to ship after I placed the order? And What kind of logistics?

A6: We ship worldwide and we use the following carriers: FedEx、UPS 、DHL. The products shall be delivered by International Express within 1-2 weeks. All products use standard cartons and special customized super hard paper shells to firmly fix the products and prevent damage from impact.

Q7: I don’t know how to develop robot arm. Is there a graphical interface for operations?

A7: For non-technical players, mechArm supports drag teaching function, which allows you to teach it every action and instruction you want. Get rid of the traditional path point storage mode, no programming is required. The saved path can be recorded, and different paths can be saved as long as 60mins at most.

Q8: How about the repeated positioning accuracy?

A8: The repeated positioning accuracy of mechArm 280 is ±0.5mm, and the repeated positioning accuracy of mechArm 320 is ±0.3mm. The repeat positioning accuracy of the two manipulators is determined based on the length of use.

The positioning of the two products is not the same. The ER 280 robotic arm is a consumer type and is mostly used in the education field. It is recommended to use 1-2 hours to rest for 15-30 minutes. The repeat positioning accuracy can reach ±0.2mm in a short time.The ER 320 is suitable for commercial work within 12 hours, with a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.3mm. If used in a short time, the repeat positioning accuracy can also reach ±0.2mm.

Q9: Is there a camera on the robotic arm? And is there a visual recognition sorting function?

A9: The robotic arm does not have a camera. But we have machine vision-related kits now available for vision development.
