Hi,
This issue has been resolved. I have two solutions:
I've been told that a Tamagawa motor with flange dimensions of 40x40 mm will be available in the KUKA supplementary axis portfolio for the KR C5 (from approx. April 2023). This is roughly in-line with my project time-line, so might be worth the wait.
If I wanted to build the cell right away, I could get a Siemens 1FK7015-5AK74-1SH3-Z X01. I could send the motor to Kuka and have them:
- Create motor/servo files
- Add a KukaDrive element to the WorkVisual catalogue.
- Create ExternalKinematics catalog element with WorkVisual catalog editor and KukaDrive element
- Create test project in WorkVisual
- Commission and test the motor
The costs are lower because it is a Siemens motor rather than a third-party motor validation. For anyone looking to do the same, you need to contact Kuka Product Support in Germany.
Thank you panic mode for your help!
