• Start up the robot system in accordance with the chapter “Start-up and
recommissioning” in the operating instructions for the robot controller.
• Put the robot system into operation in accordance with the chapter
“Start-up and recommissioning” of the operating and programming in-
structions for the KUKA System Software (KSS).
7.3 Starting up robots (machine frame mounting)
Description
The machine frame mounting assembly is used for installing robots on a
steel structure prepared by the customer, on a carriage of a linear unit, or
on an adapter plate.
8 hexagon bolts with conical spring washers are used for fastening the ro-
bot to a machine frame. A cylindrical pin and a flat-sided pin are provided
to ensure correct positioning.
This description is valid for the installation of floor, wall and ceiling-moun-
ted robots with the mounting variant “machine frame mounting”.
The robot must be rotated for wall and ceiling mounting. In doing so, it
must be secured such that an uncontrolled rotational motion or toppling is
impossible; the center of gravity must be taken into account
(>>> 6.1 "Transporting the robot" Page 167). When rotating the robot,
care must be taken not to damage the connectors, installation material
and/or energy supply system (optional). The wall-mounted or ceiling-moun-
ted installation is analogous to installation of the floor-mounted robot.
NOTICE
If a fixture is used, the manipulator must be secured in such a way that
slipping is impossible. Only approved fixtures with an adequate carrying
capacity may be used. Damage to property may otherwise result.
The installation and start-up of the robot controller, the tools mounted and
the applications are not described here.
