[comp.robotics] Joint Motors on PUMA 260

zhang@cs.UAlberta.CA (Hong Zhang) (08/11/90)

  Does anyone know the model number of the motors used in joint one, two,
and three of PUMA 260? We are setting up an experimental system to study
robot joints, in particular those of PUMA 260, but failed to track down
their model number.  We tried to take off the casing off the motor on one 
of the PUMA joints but that didn't seem possible without disassembling the 
optical encoder housing, which looks like a dangerous thing to do.  Any
information or pointers will be appreciated.
