@AlexanderKoch-Koch Thank you for sharing; this is a great project. I'm curious about the maximum load capacity of this robotic arm, as it would help in assessing what kind of tasks the arm can perform.

For the four-axis version, it's a few hundred grams. I've posted a video with a heavier object here: https://x.com/alexkoch_ai/status/1771649728129687789. The payload of the five-axis arm at full extension is close to zero.
