Light posting tonight
Still working on one of the
Japanese Robot Arms
Have one of them pretty well disemboweled and currently gnawing on the sinews. Lots of very usable parts inside -- all sorts of limit switches and motors.
Here is what they looked like before I had my way with them:
The one on the left moved into a corner and started gibbering softly to itself and has been generally unresponsive. The one on the right is a smattering of small parts and a few grease spots on the floor.
I was able to get two wonderful large (two horsepower) servo motors, three smaller servos with electric brake mechanisms, a couple really nice bearings (remember, these puppies had less than 600 hours of run time) and three non-contacting proximity sensors.
I plan to use these parts for converting my Milling Machine to computer control and to build a table for my plasma cutter.
