Adding New KUKA Arm to KUKA|prc's Virtual Robot Library

[mehradmahnia]

We have recently added a new KUKA arm to our laboratory. It's a "KR 200 L140-3 comp" model. Since it's not included in KUKA|prc's Robot Library, is there a way to add a custom robot to KUKA|prc?

Hmm... The KR200comp is included, but I'm not sure about the exact type. In general it is possible to define a custom robot model, however that functionality is limited to the member version.
We can provide a temporary license to test it, if that helps!

Best,
Johannes

Many thanks, Johannes, for your offer ... I've checked the existing KR200 comp, it's the basic short-arm version. The KR200 L140-3 is the longest one in his family ... It would be really nice if there is the possibility of having a temporary license, and many thanks in advance.
And is there any instruction or tutorial on how the process of adding a custom model works?

Hi,
Please send me an email to johannes@robotsinarchitecture.org for the evaluation license plus an example file!
Thanks,
Johannes

Many thanks Johannes for sending the evaluation license and example file. Is there a source for downloading the 3D model of KUKA arms, and where could I find the values for the KUKA robots' axis layout, I couldn't find the values in any of the PDFs i found online.

Hello,
I quickly put together your robot, attached are the files plus the datasheet, that should explain where to put in the values.
Best,
Johannes
