There are two major advantages of the AX-18A Smart Robotic Arm over other RC type robotic arms.
1. User configurable auto shutdown.
2. Realtime position, load, speed, voltage, and temperature status feedback.
An AX-18A will shut shutdown in the event of overheating, over loading or out of range voltage levels. A standard off-the-shelf RC servo will simply fail or burn up which increases overall maintenance costs. Secondly, standard RC servo communication is unidirectional. RC Servos receive an analog PWM signal then move to the requested position. There is no way to determine if the RC servo actually completed the move.
