Installation and Usage Guide

1. Interface and Button Description​

The following image shows the interfaces on the follower arm base:

Note: The Type-C port and SH1.0 interface on the follower arm are debug interfaces for developers only. Users should not use them. Unauthorized connection or development that leads to product damage will not be covered by warranty or after-sales support!

The following image shows the interfaces on the leader arm base:

Note: The SH1.0 interface on the leader arm is for developer use only. Users should not use it. Unauthorized connection or development that leads to product damage will not be covered by warranty or after-sales support!

The following image shows the buttons on the leader arm handle, including:

  • Teleoperation Sync Switch Button: Controls the teleoperation connection status between the leader arm and follower arm. When enabled, the leader arm can control the follower arm's movements in real-time; when disabled, the teleoperation function is disconnected, and the leader arm cannot control the follower arm.

  • Posture Lock/Release Button: Used to switch the leader arm's free movement state. When unlocked, the leader arm is in a power-off state and can be manually guided; when locked, the leader arm's posture is fixed and cannot be moved freely.

  • Gripper Control Trigger: Press this trigger to control the opening and closing of the follower arm's end gripper for grasping or releasing operations.

2. Follower Arm Unboxing and Assembly Guide​

(1) Place the Follower Arm Flat on the Table​

Take out the robotic arm and place it flat on the table, with the gripper servo facing down and the wire hole at the bottom end facing up.

(2) Wire Threading and Assembly​

Thread the three-joint servo wire through the wire hole in the bottom end print, align and assemble with the aluminum profile and end print, then connect the servo wire to the left servo port.

(3) Secure the Arm Body​

Place T-nuts in the round holes on both sides of the bottom end print, place black round metal washers outside the print, align the center holes of the nuts and washers, insert M4×10 screws and tighten to secure.

(4) Arm Body Positioning and Fixing​

Manually rotate the robotic arm, adjusting its body posture from the initial position to the working position.

Maintain the follower arm's working posture and secure it to the table edge using a C-clamp, ready for use.

Posture Description

  • Initial Posture: Refers to the default posture of the follower arm during installation guide steps (1-3). This posture facilitates initial operations such as wire threading, assembly, and tightening.

  • Working Posture: Refers to the standard standby posture after manual positioning, which is the preparation state before the follower arm is put into operation.

Posture Requirements

  • Before each use, the follower arm must be adjusted to the working posture standby position. It is strictly forbidden to start the device in any other posture to prevent personal injury or product damage.

  • Users can assist in judgment by observing the orientation of two joint protrusions, one camera mount protrusion, and the base direction: in the working posture, the joint protrusions and camera mount protrusion should face diagonally upward, and the power button should be on the left front, ensuring the robotic arm is correctly positioned.

3. Leader Arm Unboxing and Assembly Guide​

Take out the leader arm and place it flat on the table, adjust it to the working posture shown in the image below, and secure it with a C-clamp, maintaining standby status.

Note:

  1. Before each use, the leader arm must be adjusted to the working posture standby position. It is strictly forbidden to start the device in any other posture to prevent personal injury or product damage.

  2. Users can assist in judgment by observing the direction of two joint protrusions and the handle button orientation: in the working posture, the joint protrusions and handle button should all face diagonally upward, with the base round head pointing left, ensuring the robotic arm is correctly positioned.

4. Follower Arm and Leader Arm Connection Method​

(1) Leader Arm-Follower Arm Connection Method​

(2) Leader Arm-Computer Connection Diagram​

Note: The above diagram shows standard operation instructions. Users can make reasonable adjustments based on actual application needs.

Follower Arm Connection

  • Connect the power cable to the DC power port of the follower arm;

Leader Arm Connection

  • Connect the power cable to the DC power port of the leader arm;

  • Use a USB to Type-C data cable to connect the leader arm's Type-C port to the computer's USB port;

Follower Arm-Leader Arm Interconnection

  • Use the teleoperation sync cable to connect the follower arm with the leader arm.

5. Dual-Arm Teleoperation Usage Method​

(1) Press the Power Switches on Both Leader and Follower Arms​

In dual-arm connection mode, press the power buttons on the leader arm and follower arm in sequence to start the system.

Note: If the follower arm's power indicator remains constantly lit (regardless of whether the follower arm power button has been pressed), it indicates that the teleoperation sync cable and all power circuits are working normally, and the system is in normal working condition. Otherwise, please check the connection method.

(2) Press the Sync Button on the Leader Arm (Left Button When Holding) to Achieve Dual-Arm Teleoperation Synchronization​

During synchronized operation, hold the handle and move slowly and steadily to synchronize the postures of the leader and follower arms; after adjusting to the target posture, press the right button on the handle to lock the leader arm position.

(4) Teleoperation Precautions​

Before Use

  1. Confirm whether all robotic arm joint axes are in the zero position;

  2. Check if all cable connections are secure and insulation covers are intact;

  3. Before operating the robotic arm, please wear necessary safety protection equipment according to the actual working environment and operational requirements;

  4. Unauthorized modification of the robotic arm is strictly prohibited. The company is not responsible for any malfunctions or accidents caused by unauthorized modifications;

  5. Before placing the robotic arm, please ensure there are no personnel or obstacles within its range of motion to prevent collisions or other safety accidents;

  6. It is strictly forbidden to use this product in harsh environments, including but not limited to dusty, high-temperature, direct sunlight, flammable and explosive, strongly corrosive, underwater, and other locations.

During Use

  1. Please maintain low speed and smooth movements during operation to ensure equipment safety and controllability;

  2. Maintain focus during operation and anticipate the robotic arm's movement direction and trends;

  3. Regularly check the robotic arm's operating status and watch for any abnormal movements or sounds;

  4. All control commands must ensure the robotic arm's movement range is limited to the safe working area; if any boundary violation occurs, immediately stop operation and cut off power to prevent personal injury or equipment damage;

  5. It is strictly forbidden to randomly cut off power during robotic arm operation to avoid system failures or accidental risks;

After Use

  1. After operation, please be sure to return the robotic arm to a safe position;

  2. Turn off the power buttons of the follower arm and leader arm in sequence, while supporting the robotic arm to ensure it remains stable during power-off to prevent mechanical shock or damage;

  3. Remove the power plug and properly organize the cables;

  4. Store the robotic arm in a dry, room-temperature environment to avoid damage from moisture, high temperature, or other factors.
