Korthos component architecture illustrations — 5 October 2026

support-models.js contains original procedural illustration geometry created for Korthos. No third-party meshes, product CAD, logos or textures are incorporated. Korthos may use and modify these illustrations commercially. This notice does not license the website or illustrations to third parties. Three.js remains separately covered by vendor/LICENSE.txt.

These models explain functional assemblies. They are not manufacturing CAD, validated electrical designs or the internals of any named commercial product. Parts can be separated or isolated for inspection; no physical or electrical simulation is performed.

Scope details:
The force-sensor webs and gauges illustrate the load path without specifying a calibrated six-axis design. Optical tactile sensing is one approach, not a representation of magnetic, capacitive or resistive sensors. The compute board has illustrative connector and chip locations. The cylindrical-cell pack has no defined electrical series/parallel wiring or operating voltage. The structural model shows one bonded composite-to-metal end fitting, not the construction of all robot links.
IMU addition — 5 October 2026
The inertial-sensor model is original Korthos illustrative geometry. It shows an
enlarged single-axis capacitive MEMS accelerometer beside a closed gyroscope
package and readout electronics. It is not a reconstruction of a supplier's IMU.
Motion is amplified to explain sensing, not calibrated to acceleration.
Technical reference: Analog Devices, ADXL203/AD22037 structure documentation.

Motion updates — 8 October 2026
The planetary roller-screw illustration shows reversible screw rotation and axial
travel, with roller spin, orbit and aligned retainers. Ratios are illustrative;
thread and tooth profiles are not validated conjugate contact geometry.

The force-sensor animation magnifies elastic deflection under a cyclic axial
load. The fixed mounting ring remains stationary. It is not finite-element
analysis or a calibrated force-to-deflection prediction.
