Description:

Easy to use advanced IK rig setups

for an 6-axis industrial robot

Use the setup to apply to your own robot model(s)

Layer 1: Legacy IK solver rig

Layer 2: iTaSC IK solver rig

Layer 3: Custom bone shapes

Layer 4: typical industrial robot programming modes with bezier curve example

(front view)

Legacy IK solver advantage: custom bone rotations possible within IK chain

iTaSC IK solver advantage: smoother axis rotations

100 frame example animation incl.

Rig setup and instruction:

IK chain bones: turret, arm1,

arm2, arm3, arm4, ik (bone layer 2)

FK bones: welding

Key the empty location to

move 6-axis robot

Key if required the welding bone

IPO curve: use linear interpolation for realistic robot movement
