Revision history [back]

I think your problem is that the robot is not placed in the center of coordinates in SolidWorks. As a result the first model (the base plate) is displaced this respect to the base frame and all the subsequent joints are also set with respect to this SolidWorks origin. You should try to put the robot in the solidworks origin and then export it again.
