6.5 Setting the Preflexion
•
The level of AFB compensation (flexion assistance) can be adjusted and adapted to the weight of different
clothing with the dial. Adjustments are easier to make when the forearm is flexed.
•
The adjustment mechanism is protected by a slip coupling.
•
The hydrodynamic damper of the flexion aid mechanism is designed to counterbalance the weight of the fore
arm plus Axon-Bus gripping component. Please be sure to stabilise the upper arm component of the AxonArm
Ergo while testing the joint functions.
