Cost-Effective Foundational Training Platform Engineered for Automation Education and Laboratory Research
The ZKBOT-301ed is a 3-axis desktop educational robotic arm tailored for vocational colleges, technical universities, and industrial automation training facilities. Featuring 3 degrees of freedom (3-DOF) and a 0.5 kg rated payload, the unit is engineered with a rigid all-metal chassis and precision metal reduction gears, driven by a proprietary 32-bit embedded control architecture. Equipped with a dedicated touchscreen teach pendant, Bluetooth, USB serial connectivity, and standard 24V DIO handshake terminals, this compact 5.2 kg system supports flexible desktop or floor mounting. It serves as an accessible hardware testbed for students to master manipulator kinematics, PLC sequence logic, and automated conveyor cell integration.
Eliminates Fragile Plastic & 3D-Printed Parts: Unlike entry-level educational kits constructed with brittle plastics or 3D-printed brackets, all load-bearing structural linkages are precision-machined from metal to withstand impact, surface wear, and mechanical fatigue during repetitive student laboratory sessions.
Precision All-Metal Reduction Powertrain: Joint gearboxes utilize all-metal reduction components to deliver smooth tooth engagement, high mechanical efficiency, and extended service life under intensive teaching schedules.
High-Performance 32-Bit Embedded Controller: Powered by an optimized 32-bit control board, the system delivers significantly higher computation bandwidth and data processing speeds than legacy 8-bit platforms, executing multi-axis motion algorithms smoothly with low latency.
Energy-Efficient and Safe Low-Power Design: Operating at a maximum power consumption of only 50 W, the system runs with low thermal output and predictable motion safety, making it ideal for dense classroom workstations and group laboratory projects.
Standard 24V Hardware DIO & Communication Ports: Features industrial-standard 24V/0V Digital I/O (1x DI / 1x DO), USB serial, and Bluetooth connectivity. This allows straightforward hardware interlocking and sequence handshaking with mainstream teaching PLCs, including Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron controllers.
Intuitive Touchscreen Operation & Path Planning: Includes a 5-inch serial touchscreen teach pendant supporting Point-to-Point (PTP), linear interpolation, and linear offset modes within the joint coordinate system, giving students an intuitive interface to visualize spatial trajectory planning.

1x 5-Inch Serial Touchscreen Teach Pendant
Engineered for hands-on laboratory education in universities and technical colleges, directly supporting curriculums such as Robotics Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Automation, and Smart Manufacturing.
Features industrial-standard 24V Digital I/O (1x DI / 1x DO), enabling seamless hardware interlocking and handshake logic validation with mainstream educational PLCs (e.g., Siemens S7-1200, Mitsubishi FX Series). Ideal for teaching sequence control, I/O triggering, and automated workcell coordination.
Serves as a compact, standardized execution platform for student robotics competitions, automated modular workcells, and hands-on engineering capstone projects.
Provides an accessible benchtop platform for verifying forward/inverse kinematics, validating multi-point teach trajectories, and conducting entry-level serial arm motion experiments.
Covers core robotics fundamentals including forward/inverse kinematics verification, joint coordinate programming via the teach pendant, point-to-point (PTP) motion planning, and linear interpolation trajectory validation for 3-axis serial mechanisms.
Focuses on standard industrial interlocking using 24V/0V Digital I/O (1x DI / 1x DO). Students program an external PLC to trigger automated execution sequences on the robot arm and receive operational feedback signals to complete handshake control logic.
Simulates real-world production cells by pairing the robotic arm with tabletop conveyor systems and optical/proximity sensors. Demonstrates material detection, trigger-based part handling, and fixed-point sorting/palletizing workflows.
Enables upper-level software development using USB serial communication or Bluetooth protocols. Students can design custom graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on PC or mobile platforms to send real-time coordinates and control commands to the controller board.
