Model A / Getting Started

Review the assembly

Identify the Model A revision and inspect its mechanical and communication references.

1. Confirm the revision#

Use Model A / r3 when comparing models and documentation. The arm contains six arm joints and a separately driven gripper; seven actuators do not mean seven arm degrees of freedom.

2. Inspect the geometry#

Open the 3D model and engineering downloads. Review the mount, links, tool geometry, and cable service space for your intended installation.

3. Read the coordinate contract#

Follow Read the coordinate frames before comparing CAD and control coordinates. The mounting plane, reference base, flange, and TCP are distinct frames.

4. Review implementation status#

Payload, speed, and repeatability remain development targets. Cable fatigue, full-motion clearance, thermal capacity, and loaded operation are unqualified. The current sources do not provide a commissioned arm, deployable controller image, or qualified motion walkthrough.
