Hi there,

 

Looking at hanging the AR2 upside down. Is it possible by default? And if not, what should I look at modifying?

 

Thanks again for all your help!

theres no default setup for inverting the robot. I dont see any issue why you couldnt invert it the way it is and then just be aware that Z+ is down and Z- is up. Other than that it shouldnt be an issue. I have had a couple industrial robots inverted - and there are settings to invert the robot relative to payload calculations but the base frame stays inverted as stated - the AR2 does not have have servo feedback for payload or payload settings so it should be fine.

Awesome. Thank you for your quick response Chris. I'll be working on inverting it over the next few weeks and will share any problems/solutions I run into 😀

Hi Paul,

I am new to the AR2/3 and also considering to hang it upside down.

What was your experience? Did you run into any problems?
