Finally the sigma.7 device base can be mounted on its stand pole by sliding it from the top, as
illustrated in figure 8. Place the base at the desired height and lock the mechanism by fastening
the clamping screw as shown in figure 9.
Please verify that the device is correctly secured by making sure that the device base cannot ro-
tate around its vertical pole. If any slippage occurs, further tightening may be necessary.

Your sigma.7 haptic device is now fully assembled. You may now place the haptic device at your
console desk where you will be operating the system. Please note that optimal wrist dexterity is
achieved when the forearm of the operator is aligned with the first rotational motion axis of the
wrist mechanism, as shown in figure 10 (yellow dashed lines). This optimal configuration can be
obtained by correctly positioning and orientating the device with respect to the operator.
For optimal stability, the rear stand leg (see figure 3) should be aligned with the pole attachment
interface protruding from the back of device body, as shown in figure 10 (blue dashed lines).
