    4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION The equipment consists of two pendulum parallelograms balanced by gas springs. The assembly of both secures the clamping head and keeps it perpendicular to the work area. In addition, locks (manual or pneumatic) can be incorporated that block rotation in the base axis, the joint axes and the tilting movement of the arms.

To connect your 3arm® arm to the controller of your tool [See ELECTROPNEUMATIC SYSTEM p.

  • Page 19: Installing And Changing Tools

    5.1 INSTALLING AND CHANGING TOOLS Before any type of adjustment or maintenance task, the staff and/or operators responsible for these tasks must bear in mind that the 3arm© arm is configured to work with a certain range of loads. SUDDEN SHARP UPWARD MOVEMENT If for any manipulation, adjustment or maintenance task, or for any other reason, the load is released from the arm (for example, when changing the tool), the arm may suddenly ascend sharply and could cause harm.

  • Page 20: Adjustments

    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.

  • Page 21: Balanced, Centred Position

    6.2 BALANCED, CENTRED POSITION -Balanced arm position: Tends to stay in the position in which it has been left. -Centred arm position: Tends to stay horizontal once left free.

  • Page 22: Regulation Of The Resistance To Rotation

    6.3 REGULATION OF THE RESISTANCE TO ROTATION. A stud located at the base of the arm allows the rotation resistance of the arm's axis of movement to be adjusted. The studs can be tightened or loosened with a Nylon tip to regulate this turning resistance (5 mm Allen key).

  • Page 23: How To Secure Tools With A Square Section

    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.
