Sensors
Misti was designed to accommodate all the sensors with the following design principles:
- Protect from environment
- Maintain accessibility
- Modular mounts: Isolate change propagation
Interface
- Panel with clearly identified and accessible buttons, switches, and guages
- Safety:
- Multiple remotes for wireless E-stop
- Wired E-stop at operator�s forehead level
Electronics
Misti took advantage of the wider front and rear trays to make the electronics more accessible:
- Power distribution tray mounted to removable static dissipative panel for servicing.
- Reduce wiring mess:
- Motor controllers mounted near motors
- Micro-controllers mounted near laptop
