3.5 Rotating column
The rotating column (Fig. 9/2) is the assembly located between the link arm and the base
frame. Screwed to the base frame (4) through a gear unit (3), which allows it to rotate, it per-
forms movements about rotational axis A1 (1). It has an effective software turning range of
185° in both the (+) and (--) directions, measured from the mechanical zero position of
axis (6).
This range is limited by mechanical limit stops with a buffer function in addition to the software
limit switches. This limit stop system operates with a trailing stop acting on both sides, which
is installed in the base frame and mechanically limits the large turning range of 185˚ in both
directions.
