Specifications

This section details the technical specifications of Interbotix X-Series Arms.

In-Depth Specifications

This section provides links to each of the X-Series Arms’ more detailed specifications.

Hardware

ROBOTIS U2D2

The U2D2 controller is a USB to TTL converter that allows for the control of DYNAMIXEL servos using a computer.

See the U2D2 e-Manual page for more information.

Power Hub Board

The 6 Port, 3 Pin XM/XL Power Hub allows you to split the DYNAMIXEL daisy chain into 5 separate chains while providing power to all of them. It has the additional benefit of having both a 2.1x5.5mm female barrel jack and screw terminals.

Chart describing the payloads of each arm. Exact weights are in the adjacent table.

Note

The working payload for each arm is the maximum weight we recommend for periods of repeated movement inside of your recommended workspace. When operating for longer periods of time, ‘rest’ poses should be incorporated to prevent servos from overheating. In all situations you should be operating at or below the working payload for your model of arm.
