PAROL6 is 6 axes desktop robotic arm. It is a robotic arm whose design approach is driven by real needs from a robotic education standpoint, small automation, and scaling from RnD to production. It is the culmination of devolvement and feedback of 2 previous robotic arms I made, both being very successful open-source projects. PAROL6 uses precision planetary gearboxes and belts with careful placement for optimal weight distribution. The design is modular and allows easy addition of closed-loop drivers. From the software side, it uses the custom protocol to allow for industry standard 60-100 Hz loop times. Modern GUI is inspired by industrial and cobot interfaces where all standard ways of control are implemented (resolved rate, cartesian level control, joint level control, motor jog...) It includes a simulator to test your programs without needing a physical robot. PAROL6 is feature-rich with an Isolated I/O, CAN bus, and compliant gripper...

awesome build! Good job!

@mattmcnamara43

as someone who programs industrial robots I will definitely be making this to automate my 3d printer while im at work. does it have I/O ? now I don’t need to buy one off ebay lol

@Source_robotics

It has 2 isolated inputs and 2 isolated outputs. Also can bus and usb

@knockout350

can this be used remotely? I've been looking into something like this to remove prints from my a1 while away to start the next print.

The designer has replied

@Source_robotics

You can program it to do whatever you want haha

@XOakX

have you seen the videos of people making their print heads do it

@user_1744964351

A question, namely, how much weight can the arm lift

The designer has replied

@Source_robotics

Around 0.5kg comfortable, 1kg around the base

Replying to @Source_robotics :

Thank you

@sonoki3

I am currently preparing to build this robot arm. Based on the BOM list you created, I am in the process of gathering all the necessary parts. During the month it will take to collect all the parts, I’ve decided to start 3D printing the components using PET-G material. I'm going to give it my all! Thanks.

@Source_robotics

Awesome if you need help feel free to ask on our discord!

@sonoki3

Thanks a lot!!

@JVJV

anyone know the total approx cost of the BOM? I see you sell the parts for like $2k and 3k.

The designer has replied

@Source_robotics

Total bom is around 1k euros
