Re: Help with CIM motor locking system?

There is a setting on the Motor Controller that allows or resists free wheeling of the motor. It is called "brake" or "coast" mode. That mode may provide enough resistance to prevent the arm from moving.

You can also use encoders on the motor to PID control the position to hold the arm in place.
