Mini-Conveyor Belt for the Dobot Magician Robotic Arm

Mini-conveyor belt for education: a complete kit for a first industrial simulation

The Dobot conveyor belt for the robotic arm is a kit containing various items, allowing students in engineering schools and university institutes of technology as well as sixth form pupils studying science or industrial science and technology to try their hand at their first simulated production line.

For this, the kit includes:

• A Dobot conveyor belt
• A photoelectric sensor to detect the presence of objects in front of the photocell
• A colour sensor to recognise red, blue or green objects
• 40 coloured wooden cubes serving as material to be handled, moved and stacked by the educational robotic arm

Together, these various items allow the Dobot Magician robotic arm for education to perform a series of programmed operations using its gripper, which comes with both the basic and educational versions of the arm.

Programming the Dobot conveyor belt

Just like the robotic arm for schools that it’s designed to work with, the Dobot Magician conveyor belt can be programmed using a fun and effective visual programming environment. You can configure the mini-conveyor belt with your robotic arm’s software or even Blockly.

You’ll find two Blockly modules in the resources to help you get your production line off the ground.

The robotic arm also has numerous programmable inputs/outputs, allowing you to improve the performance of your robotic arm/mini-conveyor belt duo as much as you wish. You can for example establish a WiFi or Bluetooth connection to control your production line, use a programmable remote control and even develop new sensors!
