Encoder Options
There are 2 encoders on each arm to provide X/Y position feedback.
One at the Shoulder pivot and one at the Elbow pivot.

Z Axis Position Feedback
Most applications require only 2-axis position feedback ( X & Y) to error proof manual assembly operations; but sometimes the vertical or Z axis position is needed for location verification when fasteners are being driven horizontally. The Z axis can also be important if you are assembling components in layers, or fasteners are located at various heights or angles off-vertical.
ETA offers a simple solution for applications requiring Z axis feedback. The ZAM and ZAV sensors are electronic inclinometers that measure the tilt of the ETA Parallel Rack as the arm moves up and down. They can be ordered with a new smart arm, or purchased separately and added to any ETA arm at any time. The inclinometer simply clamps onto one of the parallel arms of any ETA model.*
ZAV- Z Axis 0.5-9.5 V Analog
Electronic Inclinometer for Z Axis position feedback. 0.5-9.5 V Analog. Accuracy is 0.3 degrees. Supply Voltage is 12-24 VDC. M12, 4 pin male connector matches AVSA encoder pin out.
ZAM- Z Axis 4-20 mA Analog
Electronic Inclinometer for Z Axis position feedback. 4-20 mA Analog. Accuracy is 0.3 degrees. Supply Voltage is 12-24 VDC. M12, 4 pin male connector matches AMSA encoder pin out.
Other Accessories and Options
OM- Overhead Mount
Any ETA arm can be built and shipped ready to be field mounted from overhead.
RS2- Shoulder Rotational Stop
Limit ETA Shoulder Block rotation with two movable stops that can be set in any of 24 stop points, allowing custom rotation ranges on any ETA Arm.
IRSH- In-Line Remote Start Handle
Enhance the ergonomics of an assembly station by providing more control than most standard inline tool levers provide. Handle grip and low-force Trigger Hat rotate 360°. Not for use on 306, 506, or 806 Frames. Weight 3.3 lbs (1.5 Kg)
B-250-0-Heavy Duty Mounting Base Kit
Heavy Duty Base Kit for floor or overhead mount. 8” diameter forged and welded base plate with three holes for ½” (12mm) bolts. Adds rigidity when mounting surface is more than 2 feet from the arm’s shoulder block. Uses 2-1/2 NPT black iron pipe and a short piece of 1-1/4 NPT black iron pipe, typically supplied by others.
ZF- Zero Fold Elbow
Ordered as a left hand or right hand fold, this option allows forearm to fold completely flat to the parallel rack and is passively held in that position between assembly cycles with adjustable magnetic park. Not for use on 306, 506, or 806 Frames.
