Bolt X Quick Start Guide

Assessing a site
Before setting up Bolt X you need to assess the site, paying particular
attention to the following points:
Is the ground or floor firm enough and level enough? You
might have to use boards or bricks to create a level surface. The
surface needs to be strong enough to take the weight of Bolt X
itself (630 kg for Bolt X On Pedestal, 830 for Bolt X On Track)
plus the weight of the track (95 kg per section). The track must
either be secured to the ground or to the weight plates supplied
(2 plates per section=2x80 kg). If you are using Bolt X On
Pedestal for high-speed moves then 400 kg of anchor weights
on each corner are recommended.
Does the site have access? You need to make sure you can
either push Bolt X into position on its wheels or carry it there
using a pallet truck or forklift.
Does the site have a power source with sufficient capacity for
the robot and the correct mains voltage?
– Bolt X On Pedestal gets its power from the YRC1000
robot controller unit which runs 415 Volt, 32A, 50/60Hz,
three-phase power supply (five-wire including Neutral
and Ground).
– Bolt X On Track requires one 415 Volt, three-phase
power supply (five-wire including Neutral and
Ground) connections. It cannot be configured to run on
less without significant loss of track speed performance.
– The RTL/Flair computer that controls Bolt X (that is, the
desktop computer and the power supply brick for the
RT-14 interface box are auto-switching and can run on
120-240 Volts AC.
Does the site have unusual environmental attributes that
require specialised protection from extreme temperatures,
humidity, rain, or dust?
