Create an RTT Robot

Component Modeling
1

Hello,

I have the CAD of a Robot that is basically like a crane.

It rotates around the z-axis, translates up the z-axis and along the x-axis.

Is there a similar robot in the eCatalog? I didn’t find anything and don’t want to create one from scratch.

And is there a tutorial if I have to create one from scratch?

Thanks in advance

  • You can upload your CAD for others to model

Thanks for the comment.
I don’t think I am allowed to upload it though.

There is a Academy tutorial for modelign cartesian robots. https://academy.visualcomponents.com/lessons/model-a-cartesian-robot/

The tutorial uses python kinematics which can be modified for different mechanisms, and at the end of the document there is an example picture of an excavator that probably functions similar to your crane.

Thank you very much! I have been able to solve my problem.
I feared having to write some complicated code using python kinematics but apparently I just had to change the links and put the right features inside.

Thanks again
