4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION The equipment consists of a pendular parallelogram balanced by a gas spring, and a telescopic arm. The assembly of both secures the clamping head and keeps it in a perpendicular position to the work area. In addition, it is possible to incorporate locks (manual or pneumatic) that lock the rotation on the shaft of the base and cross, the tilting motion of the arm and the extension of the arm.
4.4 MOVEMENTS 4.4.1 MOVEMENTS OF ROTATION AND EXTENSION Base rotation movement: 360º (Axis Z Cross rotation movement: 360º (Axis Z Extension movement (X Axis): * SC Arm: 937 mm (36.9") * SM Arm: 1288 mm (50.7") 4.4.2 ASCENDING AND DESCENDING MOVEMENTS The tilting movement on the plane ZX goes from -42º...
4.5 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Load capacity (Gross load: Tool + head) Gross load range (SC) 0-18 kg (40 lbs) Gross load range (SM) 0-10 kg (22 lbs) Reaction torque Maximum torque Vertical work Max. 300 Nm (221 ft lb) Horizontal work Max.
5 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION ✓ The work bench or installation location must be a horizontal surface, thus avoiding shifts and deviations. ✓ When using the 3arm® fastening flange the maximum weight is 10 kg. ✓ CAUTION! Do not remove the washer before you have finished installing the tool. Otherwise the arm could start a sharp upward movement that could cause harm.

5. Air connection (for versions with pneumatic locks L22 or L92 only). Requires suitable piping tube for use with compressed air. (Ø = 6 mm and maximum exterior supply pressure 0.8 MPa/ 8 bar). 6. Wiring connection (for versions L92 only). To connect your 3arm® arm to the controller of your tool [See ELECTROPNEUMATIC SYSTEM p.
6 ADJUSTMENTS 6.1 BALANCING THE ARM Regulate the tension of internal shock absorber if the arm drops or has a lot of upward force. 1- Maintain the tilting arm in an approximately horizontal position to facilitate the task. 2- Using the flywheel installed for this purpose, in the upper part of the cross, rotate it as necessary.
6.2 BALANCED, CENTRED POSITION -Balanced arm position: It tends to stay in the position in which it was left free. -Centred arm position: It tends to remain horizontal once left free. It is possible to adjust the arm to achieve balanced or centred adjustment. A - BALANCED (see image below) 1- Turn the Allen screw (4 mm Allen key) until the flat part of the screw head is in contact with the eccentric.
6.3 REGULATION OF THE RESISTANCE TO ROTATION. The studs in the Base arm and arm - cross enable you to adjust the rotational resistance of the different axes of movement of the arm. The studs can be tightened or loosened with a Nylon tip to regulate this turning resistance (4 and 5 mm Allen keys).
6.4 HOW TO SECURE TOOLS WITH A SQUARE SECTION To secure the tool correctly, Tecnospiro recommends using ball-tip headless Allen studs for thrust pads. This component allows you to adjust the tool from all sides, adapting the pads to the surface of the tool.

- Failing to use telescopic compensators could cause malfunction or premature wear of the pneumatic locking system. [See COMPENSATORS p. 30 - If you decide to work without compensators, carefully read the following chapter their operation [See p. 28] INFORMATION If the supply pressure drops below 4.5 bar the tool will not be activated.

Depending on the Vertical (V) or Horizontal (H) work that is going to be carried out, you must position the switch as shown in the image. If working in A (angle), the switches must be positioned at V (vertical) if a more vertical than horizontal position prevails, or otherwise H (horizontal).
Page 30
7.2.2 The use of telescopic compensators allows screw-mounting or tightening in any position (V- Vertical, H-Horizontal, A-Angle) with the arm completely blocked. For the use of compensators in your 3arm arm, follow these instructions. 1. Remove the guards and verify that the switches are in the locked position. Put them back immediately.

7.2.3 L92 PNEUMATIC LOCK: MANUAL ACTIVATION When the wheel on the cover is operated (Versions L92), the arm's pneumatic lock is activated. The wheel has to move from position 1 to 2. To do this, apply a slight rotation, with your hand, as indicated in the diagram. 1- Wheel extended, arm free.

7.2.5 ELECTROPNEUMATIC SYSTEM This system links the 3arm L92 arm with the tool using a suitable controller or control device (DC) ® following the diagram below. The left of the diagram represents the 3arm arm while the right shows the tool that will be used, ®...
8 MAINTENANCE The arm does not require maintenance and, when used properly, anomalies are unlikely to occur. Even so, the main, simple repairs that you can do are set out. 8.1 COMPRESSED AIR MAINTENANCE UNIT For good functioning of the compressed air unit, an air quality level of class 1.4.1 is recommended, according to the table attached.
8.5 REPLACING THE GAS SPRING PRIOR TO REPLACING THE GAS SPRING ✓ The equipment must be duly installed and integrated. ✓ Disconnect the pneumatic supply from the equipment. ✓ Turn off the equipment at the main switch and disconnect it from the electricity grid. ✓...
