Base plate This section details how to secure the base plate to the foundation.
The table specifies any recommendations made by ABB:
The base plate weighs 335 kg! All lifting equipment used must be dimensioned accordingly!
Variable Recommendation
Recommended foundation quality 1 Steel fibre reinforced concrete foundation, 30 kg/m3,
class K30, t=250 mm
Recommended foundation quality 2 Sturdy concrete foundation, double reinforced by
ø10 mm steel bars, distance 140 mm, class K25,
t=250
Recommended bolt quality and dimen-
sion
Hilti HDA-P, M20 x 200
Step Action Info/illustration
1. Make sure the foundation is level.
2. Orient the base plate in relation to the
robot work location using the three
grooves in the base plate.
Shown in Base plate, grooves and
holes on page 51.
3. Lift the base plate to its mounting position. Detailed in Lifting the base plate on
page 49.
4. Use the base plate as a template and drill
16 attachment holes as required by the
selected bolt dimension.
If possible, observe the recommenda-
tions specified in the table above. ABB
does not assume any responsibility for
other foundation qualities, due to great
variations in the foundation properties.
5. Fit the base plate and use the levelling
bolts to level the base plate.
6. If required, fit strips of sheet metal under-
neath the base plate to fill any gaps.
7. Secure the base plate to the foundation
with screws and sleeves.
8. Recheck the four manipulator contact sur-
faces on the base plate to make sure they
are level and flat.
If they are not, pieces of sheet metal or
similar may be used to bring the base plate
to a level position.
Max. allowed deviation: 0.5 mm
