Tooling
Eva has an aluminium flange, or toolplate for attaching tools such as grippers or
sensors.
It has an ISO 9409-1 designation of 40-4-M6. This means it uses 4x M6
threaded holes arranged in a circular pattern, 40 mm in diameter. Refer to the
drawing for detailed dimensions.
A locating hole, 6 mm in diameter, is present between two of the mounting holes.
Many tools include a locating pin that slots tightly into this hole to home the
orientation of the tool and reduce unwanted rotation. This pin should be aligned
before screwing in the tool.
The inner holes of the toolplate fix it to the robot. They sit within a recessed circle
that also helps to align some tools.
Powering on and Connecting
Power
Power will only be available to Eva's joints while the emergency stop button
(e-stop) is connected and released. The e-stop is activated by a simple push, and
released by twisting the button in the direction shown on the top.
The main power button is located on the robot base, above the input/output
panel. This button does not disconnect physical power from the robot.
