PincherX-150

The PincherX-150 Robot Arm belongs to the Interbotix X-Series family of arms featuring the DYNAMIXEL X-Series Smart Servo Motors. The X-Series actuators offer high torque, efficient heat dissipation and great durability all at a smaller form factor over previous DYNAMIXEL servos. The DYNAMIXEL XL430-W250 servos offer high resolution of 4096 positions and user definable PID parameters, temperature monitoring, positional feedback, as well as voltage levels, load, and compliance settings are user accessible as well. At the heart of the PincherX-100 is the Robotis DYNAMIXEL U2D2 which enables easy access to DYNAMIXEL Wizard software as well as ROS. The PincherX-150 offers 4 degree of freedom and a full 360 degree of rotation.
