IG42-DB4 ATR Heavy Duty Platform

Description

These IG42-DB4 ATR Heavy Duty Platform are designed and fabricated in North Carolina USA and fully supported by SuperDroid Robots.
The chassis is a rigid gusseted aluminum frame that is precisely fabricated using state of the art CNC equipment.
The wheels are mounted on solid steel axles which are supported by two sealed ball bearings.
Each axle/wheel is driven by a planetary gear motor through a chain and sprocket drive, delivering smooth reliable power.
The robot uses differential steering (movement is based on two separately driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body.
IG42-DB4 ATR Heavy Duty Platform It can thus change its direction by varying the relative rate of rotation of its wheels).
While we recommend the standard configuration.
The TP-170-042 kit allows for a wide range of customizations based on your needs.
We offer a variety of motor controllers, batteries, RC controllers, and encoders so you can configure the robot to meet your requirements.
The weight of the robot will vary depending on how the robot is configured (batteries are the main cause of this).

Choose from our selection of wheels.
You can choose from our standard grip pneumatic tires or if more traction is required you can choose our rugged all terrain traction lug tires.
IG42-DB4 ATR Heavy Duty Platform Gear Motors: Choose from our selection of different RPM gear motors.
As you go down in RPM, your payload capacity will go up but your speed will go down.
As you go up in RPM, your payload capacity will go down but your speed will go up.

We offer a few different battery options but there are two types of batteries that we recommend using with this kit:
Lead Acid and LiFePO₄. The lead acid batteries are much less expensive but are heavier,
Do not provide any internal circuit protection, and can survive anywhere from about 200-1000 charge cycles.
IG42-DB4 ATR Heavy Duty Platform The LiFePO₄ batteries are more expensive but are much lighter, have internal circuit breakers
prevent damaging themselves, and can survive about 1000-3000 charge cycles.
The charge cycle estimates are based on the recommended depth of discharge for each battery cycle.
A lead acid battery is only recommended to be discharged to about 50% of it’s capacity
LiFePO₄ battery can be discharged to 100% with no long term affects.
