Fitting equipment on the robot arm
Upper arm
The robot upper arm is not designed with attachment holes for any arm load.
However, for light loads such as cables, it is possible to mount them directly on
the arm, or to replace the four screws on the upper arm cover with hex spacers,
as shown in the following figure (taking CRB 15000-5/0.95 as an example).

Definitions of dimensions and masses are shown in Holes for fitting extra equipment
on page 85. Requirements on hex spacers are shown in Fastener quality for hex
spacers on page 88.
Note
Sharp edges or other hazards related to the hex spacers or fitted equipment
must be taken into consideration.
Note
If the gasket screws on the upper arm cover of CRB 15000-5/0.95 are replaced
with hex spacers, then the IP54 is no longer fulfilled.
Before fitting equipment to the robot upper arm, special considerations must be
taken:
• Any external cable routing along the robot arm shall be done in a flexible
way allowing for robot motion and taking hazards associated with
entanglement into account.
• The brake release points on each axis must be accessible in the end
application using the external brake release tool.
