FSQ-106 RoboFocus Bracket
These two images show the RoboFocus
bracket attached to the stock FSQ-106 focuser. The stock screws that came
installed on the focuser are removed, one at a time and replaced with the two
screws and washers that come with the bracket. I hold onto and label all my
parts should I need to remove the bracket sometime down the road. The
installation is very straight forward. The bracket is installed first, the motor
is attached loosely to the bracket with the two bolts, washers, and nuts. The
Allen head screws on the brass coupler are loosened and then the motor is pushed
into the coupler and shaft of the focuser, after the knob is removed of course.
After the shaft and motor are seated well on the coupler you tighten the Allen
head screws on the coupler. Now the installation looks professional and the
focus motor is held firmly in place. Make sure the focus break is loosened so as
not to impede on the focuser being able to move or putting an excessive load on
the motor. The stepper motor should have no issues holding the focuser position.
At least that's been my experience with a STL-11000M camera with the 8 position
filter wheel.
