Robot Arms Workbench — An Aluminum Extrusion Setup That Took 3 Months to Perfect (Build Video)
Share
What this build is
A platform purpose-built to support multiple robotic arms in an industrial setting. Every extrusion, every drilled hole and every internal channel was planned to carry complex wiring and heavy components and stand up to the constant demands of automated systems. Nothing here is improvised.
What the video covers
- Designing a frame in 4080, 5050 and 50100 extrusion for robot loads
- Drilling the mixed-size joints with the 50-to-40 series jigs
- Routing wiring through the structure itself
- The finished workbench ready for the arms
Key details
- Frame: 4040, 4080, 5050 and 50100 series aluminum extrusion
- Size: 2330 × 1140 × 2100 mm · 140 parts in the model
