Re: CIM-U-LATORS

All,

We have successfully used the AM Planetary with the RS 775. Both 217 and 148 are using the AM Planetary for their robots (and no we are not collaborating this year). IFI provides 217 with sheet metal so we returned a small part of that favor by modifying the AM input plate and the input gear to work with the RS775. We are using 4 and I think 148 is using at least 3.

I have the drawings and will post them if there are interested parties. If you are exceptionally desperate you can PM me and I can give you the address to send your plates, gears, and RS775 motors for us to modify.

Regarding the speed match ... you do not have to match at free speed if using these with CIM motors. I am using these with CIM motors and the AM gearing is just fine. Actually, if you do the math this ratio is much better for our application than matching at free speed.

Paul
