New KONDO Robot KXR Series, KXR-L2 Biped Robot and KXR-L4-R Turtle Robot Will be Put on the Market (Dec. 14, 2016)

KONDO KAGAKU CO. LTD. announced a new robot series KXR, KXR-L2 Biped Robot and KXR-L4-R Turtle Robot will be put on the market on Jan 26, 2017．

The Concept of KXR series
The KXR series consist of servomotors with two kinds of specification that commonized an external form for replaceable freely depending on a purpose, resin frame parts more than 30 kinds which easily and surely assemble and a control board with the software.

As for the robot kit, it was packaged conventionally such as "biped robot" "turtle robot" or "arm type robot" independently. Therefore, if turtle robot convert to biped robot, it was necessary to design new parts and to compose them.

However, the KXR series can easily rearrange each set to another type robot using a lot of parts prepared. The optional parts such as a radio control apparatus or various sensors are also prepared. Therefore it is easy to make custom made robot using the KXR series.

KONDO is the leading company of hobby robot and the new robot is the third product of KONDO. The first hobby robot, KHR-1 was developed by KONDO and put on the market in 2004. The second one, KHR-2HV in 2006 and the forth one, KHR-3HV in 2009.

Optional Parts
A large number of optional parts are prepared to realize the attractive rearrangement of the KXR series.

As KRS-3301 ICS, the servomotor used in the KXR series is the same size that of KRS-3304 ICS which torque is 13.8 kgf・㎝ higher than 7.5 kgf・cm of KRS-3301 ICS. Therefore, if KRS-3301 ICS changed to KRS-3304 ICS, the movement is more stable.
