Hi Everyone,

We have a number of linear guides and actuators that we no longer have space for in our lab because of a recent move. We would be quite happy to donate them to the Robotics society if there is interest.

They were used previously on an industrial robot so are quite large and powerful. I will dig out specs and photos for anyone that wants a look.

Many Thanks,

Chris Burrows

Hello,

 

Yes we would be interested, though we should see some pictures to see what we are getting ourselves into, as we are space limited ourselves. Things that would be interesting to know:

 

What power supply they need.

 

Stroke length.

 

Roughly how large/ heavy they are.

 

What control protocol they use.

 

 

Josh

 

Lab manager.

Hi Josh,

Are you around college at some point tomorrow or next week? It might be easier if you come and look for yourself.

Cheers,

Chris

Shall we meet on Monday?  I am away from tomorrow, also it gives anyone on this list the opportunity to plan a quick trip to see them if they are eying them for a project. 2pm ok with you?

Yep Monday at 2pm is fine. We are now located in Room 141 in Mech Eng which requires card access. So if we meet by the clock in Mech Eng (just by the entrance from the walkway), I can take you from there.

See you Monday.

Chris

Hi,

I am guessing you guys couldn't make it. If you want to come at some other point this week, let me know.

Damn, sorry slipped my mind. My sincerest apologies. I am around the rest of the week, tomorrow at 2pm? I will put it on alert in my calender ad soon as I know you are free.

Josh.
