Now’s Your Chance: Six Axis Robot Arms, Cheap

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 15 of January , 2010 at 12:40 am

Here’s one upside of the near total collapse of the American auto industry: cheap industrial robot arms when the plants get liquidated. An old Chrysler plant is being sold lock, stock, and barrel by the University of Delaware, and up for auction are about 200 six axis robot arms. 181 of them are Nachis, with a couple ABB and Fanuc arms thrown in for good measure.

If you’re asking yourself why you’d want to go bid on a six axis robot arm, you obviously haven’t been reading BotJunkie for very long… Here is one idea (or two or three).

I’d love to get one of these, but it seems you have to buy the whole warehouse, not just one of the robots.
