Follow these steps to install and secure the robot arm:
- Place the G-clip adapter plate on the selected installation platform or desktop, ensuring its position is appropriate for subsequent securing operations.
- Secure the adapter plate using G-clips.
- Carefully place the robot arm on the center of the adapter plate, ensuring the holes around the robot arm base accurately align with the holes on the G-clip adapter plate, and secure the robot arm using M6 screws.
