Description

Four years ago, we introduced the Delta X Robot project to the world - affordable and efficient delta robot series. The project's first model, the Delta X 1, was the world's first complete open-source delta robot. Fortunately, the project caught the attention of Hackday moderator, who greatly assisted us in preparing for the launch day. Although the community crowdfunding campaign failed, the support of kind-hearted makers allowed us to continue the project to this day. The biggest hope of those interested in this project is that the Delta X team can create an affordable industrial Delta robot that individuals and budget-conscious businesses like makers, labs, and startups can access. And that's why Delta X S was born

Details

Delta X S is a type of delta robot arm, designed with a unique geometric shape resembling a spider. It is known for its agility and flexibility.

The Delta X project currently has three models: Delta X 1, Delta X 2, and Delta X S. We are planning to introduce a larger delta robot model next year, similar to iPhone name: Delta X Pro.

Over the past 3 years, Delta X S has gone through 6 prototype versions.

What can Delta X S do?

As a robotic arm, Delta X S is capable of almost every operation that a human typically performs. However, with its characteristic of handling lightweight items swiftly within a 3D space with height restrictions, Delta X S excels best in typical pick & place applications that most delta robots on the market perform. Below are some examples of Delta X S's applications. You can infer similar applications:

Pick & Place

Water Dispensing

Weed Control

Assembly

Drawing

Solving Rubik

How to use

Basically, the output of the robot is the position it moves to. So its input would be information about position and speed. You simply need to connect your computer to the robot via a USB cable and send G-code commands to it. There are many ways to control the robot. We will update the details in the coming days.

Specifications

There are 3 standard sizes that can be customized and expanded up to 6 degrees of freedom

Working space	D = 400/600/800 mm H = 200 - 300 mm
Max payload	2 kg
Max speed	3 m/s
Max acceleration	50 m/s2
Repetition Accuracy	±0.15 mm
Positioning Accuracy	0.2 mm
DOF	3/4/5/6
Power	24VDC - 30A
Mass	25 kg

Currently, Delta X S is not open source, but all projects utilizing Delta X S will be open source.

Large projects like the pick & place system, Delta X S Rover (weed-killing robot), AI-based waste sorting system, quadruped dog robot using Delta X S arms, and 3D printing of construction materials with Delta X S, ... will be developed for the community.

Additionally, small projects such as designing various grippers and useful mechanisms with low-cost and easy-to-build features will also be open-source.

The mechanical open-source designs will be updated on Grabcad: https://grabcad.com/delta.x.robot-1
Codes will be hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/deltaxrobot
Tutorial videos will be available on the Delta X Robot YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DeltaXRobot/videos

We are currently in need of funding to continue the project and greatly appreciate your support.
