The Turret Assembly
Three stepper motors move the turret assembly
through its three major axes of motion (see
Figure 1.6). Rotary stepper motors rotate the
turret assembly in the clockwise or counter-
clockwise direction (along the q-axis) and move
the turret arm in and out (along the r-axis). A
linear stepper motor moves the turret up or down
(along the z-axis). A fourth, linear motor is used
to activate the gripper fingers.
