Hardware Setup
The following sections describe the proper setup of the FaroArm
system. This includes attaching the FaroArm to your work surface and
connecting the FaroArm to your computer.
Mounting the Base
The counterbalance by the tension spring generates torque at the base of
the FaroArm; therefore, the mount must meet certain requirements to
achieve optimum machine accuracy.
N
OTE: The FaroArm must be mounted in a upright position. Do Not
mount the FaroArm in an inverted (upside down) or sideways
position.
To fasten the FaroArm:
1 Attach the 3.5" threaded ring and surface mount plate to any stable
location. Tighten all mounting bolts to 100-inch pounds.
2 Place the FaroArm on top of the 3.5” threaded ring.
3 Screw the threaded collar clamp onto the base of the FaroArm and the
3.5” threaded ring.
