Download the WidowX Datasheet

The WidowX Robot Arm Mark II, from Interbotix Labs, is an upgraded entry-level robotic arm featuring MX series DYNAMIXEL Servos. Designed based on rigorous testing and customer feedback, the Mark II boasts significant enhancements for smoother, stronger, and more precise performance.

Key Improvements:

• Enhanced Strength: Upgraded the elbow servo from an MX-28 to a MX-64, paired with custom aluminum brackets for improved frame strength and durability.
• Lighter and Simpler Design: Streamlined structure makes the arm easier to use and more efficient without sacrificing power.
• Improved Electronics: Replaced the ArbotiX with the advanced ArbotiX-M for superior control and connectivity.

Performance Highlights:

• 360° Freedom of Movement: Full rotation at the base for flexible positioning.
• High Resolution: Ultra-fine control with 4096 positions, ideal for tasks requiring high accuracy.
• Smooth Control: User-definable PID parameters ensure precise motion and interpolation.
• Powerful Actuators: MX-64 servos in the shoulder and elbow provide strong lifting capacity in a slim, lightweight frame.

The WidowX Robot Arm Mark II is an excellent choice for applications requiring medium lifting strength, smooth operation, and reliable repeatability, making it a standout mid-level robotic arm.

With Latenode, you can enhance the functionality and versatility of the WidowX Robot Arm Mark II, whether for research, development, or advanced robotic applications.

A rugged ABS boxed frame design and 14cm diameter ball bearing rotational base ensures maximum rigidity and accuracy. Optional wrist rotate allows for up to 5 degrees of freedom, along with a custom designed parallel gripper for high precision and maximum gripping strength. You will need to sand your gripper for smooth operation, more details available in the assembly guide.

The WidowX Robot Arm has up to a 41cm horizontal reach and 55cm of vertical reach. At a 10cm reach it can lift up to 800g, and at 30cm up to 400g. The gripper itself has a rated holding strength of up to 500g, while the wrist itself can lift up to 500g horizontally. (400g if using wrist rotate).
