2.3.3 Setting the system parameters for a suspended or tilted robot
General
The robot is configured for mounting parallel to the floor, without tilting, on delivery.
The method for mounting the robot in a suspended (upside down) or tilted position
is basically the same as for floor mounting, but the system parameters that describe
the mounting angle (how the robot is oriented in the base coordinate system) must
be redefined.
Note
With suspended installation, make sure that the gantry or corresponding structure
is rigid enough to prevent unacceptable vibrations and deflections, so that
optimum performance can be achieved.
Note
The allowed mounting positions are described in the product specification for
the robot. The requirements on the foundation are described in Requirements,
foundation on page 60.
System parameters
Note
The mounting angle must be configured correctly in the system parameters so
that the robot system can control the movements in the best possible way. An
incorrect definition of the mounting angle will result in:
• Overloading the mechanical structure.
• Lower path performance and path accuracy.
• Some functions will not work properly, for example Load Identification and
Collision detection.
Gravity Alpha
If the robot is mounted on a wall (rotated around the x-axis), then the robot base
frame and the system parameter Gravity Alpha must be redefined. The value of
Gravity Alpha should then be ±π/2 (±3.141593/2).
