01. The blue plate with the 6 bolts clamps the timing belt section to the extending arm (yellow)
02. The timing pulley driven by the “CIM” motor drives the yellow arm in and out (up and down) depending upon angle of arm.
03. The timing belt wraps around an idler pulley at the opposite end of the arm assembly.
04. An optical encoder (not shown in the drawing) provides height information of the yellow extension arm.
05. Optical encoder is mounted to the “aqua colored plate” and reads the output shaft of the CIM motor
06. We currently are using a Banebot 775 motor in place of the CIM







Hope that gives a pretty good explanation. 7 Days till Midwest!!! Then everyone can see it in action
