3.3 Installing the Sensor to the Robot

Parts required: Refer to Figure 3.5 and Section 16—Drawings.

Tools required: 4mmhexkeyor4mmlowprolehexkey(partofATIKitP/N9105-IP-2126)

Supplies required: Clean rag, Loctite

242(ifapplicable,refertostep3)

1. Clean the mounting surfaces.

2. Attach the mounting interface plate to the robot arm with the mounting fasteners.

NOTICE: When mounting the sensor to the mounting interface plate, mounting the customer

tooling or interface plate to the sensor, consider the following points:

• Screws must have a minimum thread engagement length of 4.5 mm and a maximum

thread engagement less than the threaded depth that is listed in the customer drawing

Section 16—Drawings.

• Unlessotherwisespecied,applyLoctite242tothe(6)M5socketheadcapscrews(class

12.9)sothatthefastenerssecurethesensortothemountingplate.

3. Attach the sensor to the mounting interface plate:

a. Using a 4 mm hex key, secure the sensor to the mounting interface plate with (6) M5 socket head

cap screws (class 12.9). Tighten the fasteners per the specications in the following table.

4. Once the sensor is installed on the robot, the customer tooling or tool interface plate can be installed.

NOTICE: The tool must not touch any other part of the sensor except the tool side; otherwise,

the sensor will not properly detect loads.

5. Connect the cables to the sensor and customer application:

a. Connect a power and Ethernet cable (ATI P/N 9105-C-ZC22-ZC28-X) to the sensor’s M8

connector. Tighten to 4.43 in-lbs (0.5 Nm).

b. Connect the branched cable (ATI P/N 9105-C-ZC28-U-RJ45S-X) to the cable from step a. Tighten

to 7.08 in-lbs (0.8 Nm).

c. Connect the RJ45 and power connections to the customer application.

NOTICE: For the LED outputs that occur whenever power is applied to the sensor, refer to

Section 4.2.1—Self-Test LED Sequence.
