Hello DoF community!  Are there any custom mobile platforms for multiple machine tending applications that anyone is willing to share?  I have a client that is building their own platform for a UR10 they just received and I'm looking for best practices.  Thanks in advance!

Hi Matt!

We recently came across a very similar application - the assembly is now publicly available on the Vention platform, and you can always customize the design yourself or ask us to do it for you in no time. It is available here: https://www.vention.io/design/6404

As this is a popular application, we added 2 noteworthy parts to our Parts Library:

  • A 2-piece locating pin to guarantee alignment repeatability.
  • Leveling caster wheels to quickly go from wheeling to stationary configurations.
Let me know if you have any questions!
We're happy to provide design support if need be.

Thanks Max!  I have been exploring vention.io - thanks for the referral!  I'm intrigued by the leveling casters and how stable they are when in a stationary configuration.  I'll check it out.  Thanks again!

No problem!
There are a few leveling caster models available, depending on your application. I've seen most versions and they were all very stable.
You can always reach out to support@vention.io for more info, or ask for an Application Engineer to have a look ;)
