    4) And some wires


    How can I assemble all of this?

    What manuals do I need?

    Hopefully you have all the other components needed. The controller must have an axis control card that can handle to total number of axis you have. For example if you have a 6 axis robot, it probably came with a 6 axis control card. In that case you would need to upgrade to a 12 axis control card. If your robot already has other external axis then you may be in luck. You also may be missing the fiber optic cables, backup battery compartment and cables, etc.


    Then you need to have software to control the axis, such as Extended Axis or Basic process axis.


    If this robot wasn't previously specified for an external axis and you didn't work with Fanuc to get the needed software and hardware then you are going to have a hard time.
