Hi all,
I'm currentlly in posession of an old Kuka KR5 Sixx R650 with a KRC2sr controller. The controller is dead, all I can get from it is power for the arm but the computer is gone. I would like to find out if the arm itself is in good working condition but I have no way of testing it at the moment, I was thinking of using a microcontroller to try and send signals to the arm and see what happens, but since I have no idea how the innards of the actual arm are set up I'm unsure where to start. Has anyone here done something similar before and would they mind sharing some pointers on how to go about it if so?
Also, if anyone has any information regarding the innards of the arm I would really appreciate that too, I'd rather not take the casing appart. By this I mean details on the motors being used, electrical setup of the arm, if it has an encoder or wether that is on the controller side, etc ...
Thanks for your help!
