RoBLOKS: A Robotics Revolution

High-tech Manufacturing Comes Home

RoBLOKS is a modular robotic tool-system that is adaptable to any use and is affordable to the public. The Lumenlab RoBLOKS Gantry Robot (RoGR) is the first RoBLOKS kit, and is truly a technological revolution in the making. For the first time in history, high quality robotic manufacturing is available to the public at a price point that is affordable to nearly all. As a bonus, the RoBLOKS RoGR design is modular and easily adapted to many configurations...

• Art and Sculpture
• 3d printing
• Milling and Machining
• Terrain Mapping, Reliefs
• 3D, 2D Carving
• Assembly
• Plotting
• PCB gravature
• Filligree and Inlay
• Rapid Protoyping
• Laser, Plasma and Welding
• Modeling
• Mold Making
• Patterning
• Chess Partner :)

...it can be done with RoBLOKS and your ingenuity! The RoGR can even be used to produce parts for more RoGRs and more RoBLOKS modules, qualifying RoGR as a REPRAP.

Some of RoGR's features:

• Cut 4' x 8' sheets (or longer) with only a 26" x 50" work surface
• Closed-loop servo motors with (step-driven DAC) analog motor controls
• True 26" x 50" cutting area
• Massive billet aluminum construction
• Manual control mode with sophisticated DRO, "forward-looking ROD" and USB-enabled pendant/joystick control
• Very powerful, made for full size routers (or whatever you want to put on there, use your imagination!)
• Large, open steel frame platform allows for many possible configurations of the machine for numerous purposes. Plasma, router, plotter, printer or whatever you can create!
• ~8" of Z. Enough for 3d, sculpting and relief. A DIY Z-motion kit is coming that will allow 36" of Z!
• Very adaptable: Useful for routing and milling, deposition printing, rapid prototyping, model-wax-sintering, laser, plasma, welding and more
• Finished price under $2000

RoBLOKS is an ongoing project that will produce many adaptations and modules both by and for the public. Lumenlab will support RoBLOKS with parts, free plans, open forums and great tutorials that show you step by step how to use the RoGR, as well giving our customers the personal attention Lumenlab is known for. 

Get Started!  

RoGR is available in kit form. The current offerings are:

RoGR-BK Bearing Kit Comprised of ~24 pieces of machined billet. The heavy duty bearing casings come pre-loaded with recirculating linear ball bearings for near-zero rolling resistance and phenomenal tolerances. We can provide the entire set of bearings, mounts and rails to build this machine for $499.00.

800 OZ/IN Servos with 1140 PPR Quad Encoders  RoBLOKS- SRV800 w/Quad-N-I (3 needed for RoGR X and Y). 

***This time is an incredible time to be involved with this technology...Robotic tools are the new "frontier" for man's endless quest to know and to make: Many fortunes, artworks and discoveries lie just ahead... -bc

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing all of your creations, so drop by the Lumenlab Forums and get involved!
