Hi, this is my first experiment with robotic automation...
I have 2 x second hand Fanuc R2000iA 165R on order, and want to build a robotic pipe welding cell, with 7th axis rotators.
The head stocks need to rotate between 0.5 rpm and 2 rpm, with a basic positional accuracy of at least 1 Degree.
The 165R's have drive cards for an extra axis, but what motors should I use to build the headstocks ?
I can incorporate a gearbox to get the RPM down low if necessary, but can I simply use a general purpose robot axis servo motor for this ?
Any basic advice would be helpful.
