5 Planning
5.1 Information for planning
In the planning and design phase, care must be taken regarding the func-
tions or applications to be executed by the kinematic system. The follow-
ing conditions can lead to premature wear. They necessitate shorter main-
tenance intervals and/or earlier exchange of components. In addition, the
permissible operating parameters specified in the technical data must be
taken into account and observed during planning.
• Continuous operation near temperature limits or in abrasive environ-
ments
• Continuous operation close to the performance limits, e.g. high rpm of
an axis
• High duty cycle of individual axes
• Monotonous motion profiles, e.g. short, frequently recurring axis mo-
tions
• Static axis positions, e.g. continuous vertical position of a wrist axis
• External forces (process forces) acting on the robot
If one or more of these conditions arise during operation of the kinematic
system, KUKA Deutschland GmbH must be consulted.
If the robot reaches its corresponding operation limit or if it is operated
near the limit for a period of time, the built-in monitoring functions come
into effect and the robot is automatically switched off.
This protective function can limit the availability of the robot system.
5.2 Mounting base with centering
Description
The mounting base with centering is used when the kinematic system is
fastened to the floor, i.e. directly on a concrete foundation.
The mounting base with centering consists of:
• Bedplates
• Resin-bonded anchors (chemical anchors)
• Fastening elements
This mounting variant requires a level and smooth surface on a concrete
foundation with adequate load bearing capacity. The concrete foundation
must be able to accommodate the forces occurring during operation.
There must be no layers of insulation or screed between the bedplates
and the concrete foundation.
The minimum dimensions must be observed.
Grade of concrete for foundations
When producing foundations from concrete, observe the load-bearing ca-
pacity of the ground and the country-specific construction regulations.
There must be no layers of insulation or screed between the bedplate/
bedplates and the concrete foundation. The quality of the concrete must
meet the requirements of the following standard:
• C20/25 according to DIN EN 206-1:2001/DIN 1045-2:2008
