Unpacking and Handling Instructions
PreciseFlex robots are shipped in wooden crates with international ratings and foam inserts to
protect the robots.As the robots weigh 25 kg or more, two persons should move the robot to the
installation location.
Mounting Instructions
PreciseFlex robots must be attached to a rigid surface that can withstand lateral forces of 200
Newtons without moving or vibrating. The robot base has an integrated bolting pattern to
accommodate (4) M6 SHCS mounting screws located as shown above.
Tool Mounting
The PreciseFlex 400 is typically supplied with an electric gripper. In some cases, a pneumatic
gripper may be supplied by PreciseFlex or by the end user. However, the standard robot does not
include pneumatic lines, so if pneumatic tooling is needed, the robot must be ordered with
pneumatic lines installed. The outer link has a flange for users to attach grippers or tooling.
To facilitate electrical interfacing to user tooling, digital I/O signals are available in the outer link. For
robots with an electric gripper, the electric gripper controller in the outer link has two extra inputs
and two extra outputs available for users. However, it should be noted that all the wires in the 18
conductor slip ring are consumed by the electric gripper, so any additional IO wiring will have to be
routed outside the robot wrist. For robots without the electric gripper, a ribbon cable from the
G1400A controller is routed to the outer link. This ribbon cable provides four digital inputs and four
digital outputs from the controller.
For robots where support for a pneumatic gripper or pneumatic tooling has been ordered, one or
two 1/8 in OD air hoses are routed from the connector plate in the base through the robot and out to
the outer link. These air hoses can be connected to one or two solenoids mounted in the outer link
for tooling control.
