Step 1 Tools and Parts Required for This Chapter
Step 2 Picasso Wrist Gearbox Output - Parts
Step 3 Picasso Wrist Gearbox Output
Step 4 Picasso Wrist Gearbox Input - Parts
Step 5 Picasso Wrist Gearbox Input - Note
Step 6 Picasso Wrist Gearbox Input - 1
Step 7 Picasso Wrist Gearbox Input - 2
Step 8 Picasso Wrist Gearbox Rotor Alignment
Align the Side Sharpie mark on the Bottom Rotor to the "B" label on the Housing and slide only the Bottom Rotor into the Housing
Align the Side Sharpie mark on the Top Rotor to the "T" labelled on the Housing and slide the rest of the Rotor in.
If everything went smoothly, the gap between 8 holes on each rotor should be equally spaced
- Note:
Verify that you can manually turn the eccentric shaft in the center and that the rotors smoothly turn inside the housing. Tight printing and misaligned rotors can cause the gearbox to jam.
Step 9 Picasso Wrist Gearbox Input Pulley
Insert 6701 Bearing on the Top Housing
Secure the Top Housing to the Rotor Housing using the M3x20mm Screws
- Warning:
DON't screw all the way in. Just to the flushed to the bottom of the Main Housing
Align the Pulley Gear to the Set Screw and slide in the Pulley gear to the Brass Tube
Secure it using M3x4mm Set Screw
Step 10 Fork Idler - Parts
Step 11 Fork Idler - 1
Step 12 Fork Idler - 2
Step 13 Fork Bottom Preparation - Parts
Step 14 Fork Bottom Preparation - 1
Place the GT2x400mm Timing Belt on the outer pulley on Assembled Ulna Gearbox
Place the GT2x336mm Timing Belt on the inner pulley
Align the Ulna Sensor Plate and Ulna Output Gearbox to the Fork Bottom with the Hex Standoff insert pointing upward
Insert M3x4.5x12mm Hex standoffs and secure its place using M3x22mm Screws
Use M3x10mm Screw in this location
Step 15 Fork Bottom Preparation - 2
Insert the Picasso Output pins to the Picasso Gearbox
Rotate the Input Pulley of the Picasso Gearbox to align the gearbox housing
Insert the assembled Picasso Box into the Bearing Slots of the Fork Bottom
- Warning:
Make sure to wrap the Timing Belts on both Pulley Gears AND the Bottom Idlers
- Note:
The SMOOTH SIDE of the Belt on the IDLERS
Insert M3 Square Nuts in the Square Nut insert on the Fork Bottom
Secure the Picasso Gearbox by tightening the bottom screws on the Gearbox Housing
Step 16 Fork Clamp - Parts
Step 17 Fork Clamp - Final Fork Preparation
Step 18 Fork Clamp - Top Idler Belts 1
- Warning:
This step may be the hardest to execute so follow through carefully. Use Alan Key as a "hook" if you need to
Align the 400mm GT2-Timing Belt {outer belt} to the Top Idler
Take the Belt off of the Gearbox Pulley if you need to.
- Note:
Make sure the SMOOTH side of the belt is on the Idler
Rotate the Top Fork and let it FLOAT over the Bottom Fork
Put the 400mm Belt back on the Pulley
Notice that the Top Fork is shifted forward relative to the Bottom Fork
While the Fork is shifted forward, put the 336mm GT2-Timing Belt on the Inner Pulley on the other side
Step 19 Fork Clamp - Top Idler Belts 2
Step 20 Fork Clamp - Final
Step 21 Fork Picasso Sensor - Parts
- Note:
Prepare the following components:
[3D] - AS6147 Sensor Adapter 2
[3D] - 5Ac Fork Cable Clamp
AS5147 Sensor {right angle header on the label side}
6-pin Ribbon Cable M/O - Brown to Blue {sensor 5 Hand} - [1470mm]
6-pin Ribbon Cable F/O - Brown to Blue {sensor 4 Wrist} - [1520mm]
M2x6mm Screws (x8)
M3x10mm Screws (x4)
Step 22 Fork Picasso Sensor - 1
Connect the Hand Sensor Cable Extension to the Wires that comes out of the Picasso Box {Hand Sensor}
Mount AS5147 Sensor to the Sensor Adapter 2 using M2x6mm Screws
Insert the Wrist Sensor Cable {Female} through the Cable Clamp
Connect the Wrist Sensor Cable to AS5147 Sensor
- Note:
If you don't remember the Connection Orientation from previous steps, just copy the picture.
Step 23 Fork Picasso Sensor - 2
Use M2x6mm Screws to secure the Sensor Adapter to the Fork
- Note:
Organize the Cables on the Cable Clamp area
The Hand Sensor Connector is below the Wrist Sensor Cable
Use M3x10mm Screws to clamp the sensor cables with Fork Cable Clamp Plate
- Note:
There's only one orientation that the Clamp Plate can go on,
- Warning:
Make sure the Version Label is facing the Cable
- Warning:
Chamfered Part is where the Cable comes Out
