Joints

To configure the emergency stop ramps, see chapter Emergency stop ramps and software limit switches of the joints.

In addition to the joint axes, 6 non-driven joints are to be configured. These act as software limit switches.

Passive joints 1 and 2 refer to arm 1 and are shown in the figure. Passive joints 3/4 or 5/6 refer to arm 2 or 3, respectively, and their function corresponds to that of passive joints 1 and 2 when turned in a rotationally symmetric manner.

Additional information

Elbow angle 1
(passive joint 1)

Angle between linear axis 1 and lower arm 1 in the vertical plane in which linear axis 1 moves.

Shear angle 1
(passive joint 2)

Angle between the vertical plane in which the linear axis 1 moves and the forearm 1.

Elbow angle 2
(passive joint 3)

Angle between linear axis 2 and lower arm 2 in the vertical plane in which linear axis 2 moves.

Shear angle 2
(passive joint 4)

Angle between the vertical plane in which the linear axis 2 moves and the forearm 2.

Elbow angle 3
(passive joint 5)

Angle between linear axis 3 and lower arm 3 in the vertical plane in which linear axis 3 moves.

Shear angle 3
(passive joint 6)

Angle between the vertical plane in which the linear axis 3 moves and the forearm 3.
