Instructions

Position Subassemblies C and D so the color-coded cable leads from actuators ID 20 and ID 21 are accessible. Insert each corresponding conductor pair into four WAGO connectors according to the released pinout, inspect each connection, and place the joined cable leads inside part .

Watch out video on how to use a WAGO

If you have never worked with a WAGO connector before, follow WAGO's published stripping, insertion, and inspection instructions before continuing.

Step 14: Connect the Shoulder and Elbow Assemblies - Instruction 1

Sub Assembly C and Sub Assembly D should be connected to each other as follow, also the orientation of Sub Assembly D is very important as it will dictate the rotation limit of the arm, so make sure you oriented it exactly as shown below.

Step 14: Connect the Shoulder and Elbow Assemblies - Instruction 2

Fit Sub Assembly D onto Sub Assemble C such that the the 6 holes on circumference of part is aligned with the 6 holes on circumference of part .

Step 14: Connect the Shoulder and Elbow Assemblies - Instruction 3

Take 6 - M4x12 socket bolts and lightly tighten into the 6 holes on the circumference of part to align with part

Step 14: Connect the Shoulder and Elbow Assemblies - Instruction 4

After the parts are aligned:

  • remove each of the 6 – M4x12 socket bolts in a star formation,
  • apply threadlocker,
  • then tighten them back to secure Part and part together.

Take 12 - M4x45 socket bolts and insert it into the 12 holes on part . This will be used later to install the right arm module to the torso module.
