Base Side Angled Fittings
By using the base side angled fittings to the C4 series Manipulator base, you can mount the Manipulator in skewed position. The motion range expands with this mounting type compared to the normal ceiling mounting.

To mount the base side angled fittings
KEY POINTS
For details of tightening the hexagon socket head cap bolt, refer to the following section.
Drive pins to the base side plate (for Skewed mounting type).
Protruding part of pins is approx. 2 to 5 mm.
Drive pins to the base side angled plate (left and right sides).
Protruding part of pins is approx. 2 to 5 mm.
Create a base side angled fittings. Fit the pins of the plate for Skewed mounting type in the step (1) with the holes on the plate in the step (2) and secure with the screws.

KEY POINTS
The shape of the base side angled fittings is asymmetry. Be sure to mount the fittings in correct direction.
Otherwise, the motion range of Arm #2 is limited in the backside.
KEY POINTS
The recommended base plate thickness is between 30 mm and 40 mm. If the thickness is more than 40 mm, the Manipulator may contact the base plate when the Arm #1 rotates depending on the center cut dimension in the base plate.
The base plate securing the Manipulator should be prepared by users. The torque value and reaction force generated in the Manipulator motions are described in the following section.
