CRX Armload Setup

This instructional video explains the process of setting up armloads on CRX series robots. It begins by distinguishing between payload (equipment mounted to the robot faceplate) and armload (equipment mounted along the robot arm like cables and valves). The tutorial covers the complete setup workflow: weighing equipment before installation, separating faceplate-mounted versus arm-mounted components, and configuring armload settings through the robot's menu system. The video demonstrates how to enter armload masses for joints J2 and J3, explains the need to cycle power after changes, and shows how to adjust armload positioning for heavy or unusually distributed loads using point mass approximations. It emphasizes important considerations like how armloads reduce allowable faceplate payload capacity and how improper setup can cause contact stop alarms. The tutorial concludes with best practices, noting that armload configuration must be completed before running payload identification to ensure accurate results.
