5. Secure by inserting the M4 screws and the Belleville washers
(with the convex side upward) in a cross pattern to properly
compress the O-ring.
6. Plug the device cable into the sensor's pigtail and attach the
cable along the robot arm using a cable routing system.
BEFORE OPERATING THE FORCE SENSOR,
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
The Force Torque Sensor must be aligned with the robot
arm using the dowel pin. This ensures that the feature
will work correctly.
The IP rating of the FT 300-S Force Torque Sensor is
IP65. It is strongly recommend to cover the sensor and
the robot when it is used with an application that requires
a higher rating.
