Step 14: Connect the Shoulder and Elbow Assemblies
Connect the leads from actuators ID 20 and ID 21 with four WAGO connectors, join parts 300_15C and 300_06B with six threadlocked M4x12 socket bolts, and stage twelve M4x45 socket bolts for torso installation.
Parts needed
| Part | Count |
|---|---|
| Subassembly C | 1 |
| Subassembly D | 1 |
| WAGO connector | 4 |
| M4x12 socket bolts | 6 |
| M4x45 socket bolts | 12 |
| Threadlocker | As needed |
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.
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.
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 .
Take 6 - M4x12 socket bolts and lightly tighten into the 6 holes on the circumference of part to align with part
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.

Step 13: Install and Connect the Wrist Actuator
Attach part 300_10A to part 300_16C with M4x10 flat bolts, install actuator ID 22 with parts 300_11A and 300_12B and threadlocked M3x12 flat bolts, then connect it to actuator ID 21.
Step 15: Complete the Right Arm Module
Confirm that the right arm module is assembled and ready for later torso installation.
