User Manual
The Joints, Base and Tool Flange are the main components of the robot arm. The
controller coordinates joint motion to move the robot arm.
Attaching an end effector (tool) to the Tool Flange at the end of the robot arm, allows the
robot to manipulate a workpiece. Some tools have a specific purpose beyond
manipulating a part, for example, QC inspection, applying adhesives and welding.

•
Base: where the robot arm is mounted.
•
Shoulder and Elbow: make larger movements.
•
Wrist 1 and Wrist 2: make finer movements.
•
Wrist 3: where the tool is attached to the Tool Flange.
The robot is partly completed machinery, as such a Declaration of Incorporation is
provided. A risk assessment is required for each robot application.
