Load on the Arm
When you attach a camera or other devices to the arm, calculate the weight as the
equivalent of the shaft. Then, add this to the load and enter the total weight to the
WEIGHT parameter.
Equivalent Weight Formula
When you attach the equipment near Joint #2:
When you attach the equipment to the end of Arm #2:

<Example> A “0.5 kg” camera is attached to the end of the E2C series arm (225
mm away from the rotation center of Joint #2) with a load weight “1
kg”.
