Overview
This document provides technical specifications and configuration options for swivel arms and carbon arms used in workstation applications, particularly for torque tools such as screwdrivers. It includes detailed parameters, encoder types, torque limits, dimensions, and accessory compatibility.
1. Product Types and Features
Swivel Arms
- Designed for workstations with limited space.
- Maximum anti-torque: Vertical 150 Nm, Horizontal 100 Nm.
- Simple, lightweight structure for ease of use.
- Configurable with digital angle sensors for precise tightening position detection.
- Fixtures are ordered separately.
Carbon Arms
- Telescopic structure allowing wider working range.
- Maximum anti-torque: 200 Nm.
- Made from new carbon material, offering lighter weight, smooth movement, and strong torque resistance.
- Configurable with angle encoders and pull cord encoders.
- Fixtures, positioning controllers, and balancers are ordered separately.
2. Encoder Types and Configuration
- Angle Encoder: Provides accurate angular position feedback.
- Pull Cord Encoder: Measures extension stroke distance.
- Some models support both encoders outputting 0-5 V signals.
- RS-type encoders (e.g., RS485) are available for certain models, compatible with arm controllers.
3. Key Parameters and Dimensions
- Encoder Cable Length: Typically 15 meters for carbon arms.
- Screw Spacing: Varies by model, important for mounting compatibility.
- Torque Ratings: Maximum vertical and horizontal torque values specified per model.
- Working Radius: Minimum (R1) and maximum (R2) working radius dimensions define the operational reach.
- Installation Height: Maximum installation height (H1) and total height (H) are provided for fitting considerations.
- Extension Stroke Distance: Relevant for telescopic carbon arms, indicating the range of extension.
4. Model Identification and Ordering Notes
- Model codes follow a pattern indicating arm type, encoder type, cable length, and version.
- OPT-BCN and OPT-BCP prefixes denote swivel and carbon arms respectively.
- OPT-DSN and OPT-DSP models relate to angle encoder installation seats and configurations.
- Fixtures, controllers, and balancers are not included and must be ordered separately.
- Special notes indicate that right and left arms can have different encoder voltage requirements and configurations.
5. Recommendations and Best Practices
- Select arm type based on workspace constraints and torque requirements.
- Use digital angle sensors or encoders to improve tightening accuracy and repeatability.
- Ensure compatibility of encoder output signals with arm controllers.
- Consider cable length and mounting dimensions carefully to fit workstation layout.
- Order necessary accessories such as fixtures and balancers separately to complete the setup.
