1. Introduction
The Smart Arm Accessory allows an articulated arm
with encoders to be used with the Gen IV controller.
Fastener locations can be programmed into the
controller so that the controller will perform specific
actions when the tool is located on a specific
fastener. The controller can also be configured to
show a custom image on the Runscreen with fastener
locations that update as fastenings are performed.
