Follower first motion and manual control

Check the follower quick start, small joint movements, and neutral-pose motion.

On this page

First-motion prerequisites

Complete app installation, Safety, Assembly and wiring, Connection, and Calibration. Start with small movements of one follower.

Pre-motion checks

Item What to check
Work area People, tools, obstacles, and cables are outside the motion path
Base board Assembled to the arm with four screws and secured to the workbench
Power Correct product adapter, polarity, and connector
Profile Matches the connected assembly
Torque Off until immediately before movement; arm supported when enabling it

Follower quick start

  1. Support the follower so that it cannot hit a person or equipment if torque is off.
  2. Check the product's 7.5 V, 5 A adapter and USB data cable.
  3. Open arm connection management in the header, identify the follower, and connect it.
  4. Confirm that the saved follower calibration matches the assembly. If calibration setup opens, complete it and wait for readiness. To replace an existing calibration, follow Calibration.
  5. Support the arm, recheck the work area, then enable Servo torque in the header.
  6. Move only one joint a small amount. Check that direction and range are as expected.

Manual control

  1. Check follower connection, profile, and readiness in the header.
  2. Support the arm, check the work area, and enable torque.
  3. Select one joint and move it a small amount using numeric input or the -/+ buttons.
  4. Watch the physical pose. Check that the measured position steadily follows the value you entered.
  5. Stop and turn torque off if there is binding, vibration, a large error, or a warning. For unexpected motion or an unknown state, follow the immediate-stop actions.

Neutral pose and finishing

Before Move to neutral, clear the entire path from the present pose to neutral. Do not approach the arm during movement.

Stopping is different from turning torque off. After a normal motion stop, the follower can hold its current pose. After work, support the arm and turn off header Servo torque yourself.

If a button is disabled, check follower connection → calibration → torque → emergency stop → on-screen instructions.
