Chapter 9: IP65 Option
9.4 Customer Requirements
The IP65 robot provides most of the hardware needed to achieve an IP65 protection level, but
customers must provide a way of sealing the tool flange and pressurizing the robot through
the compressed air attachment fitting (located at the top of the upright robot and just above the
eAIBī ±of the inverted robot). These two requirements, sealing the tool flange and pressurizing
the robot, are critical to achieving the IP65 level of protection.
In addition, the robot must be inspected periodically to make sure these requirements are being
met, as part of a periodic maintenance program.
Sealing the Tool Flange
The tool flange must be sealed so that the robot shell can be positively pressurized. The pos-
itive pressure reinforces the sealing properties of the gaskets and seals provided in the IP65
robot.
The tool flange for the IP65 robot has an additional protective shield on the outer edge that is
not present on the standard robot tool flange. See eCobra 800 IP65 Tool Flange (Units in mm)
on page 181 for the side view dimensions. The bottom face of the flange (mounting surface) is
the same as the standard flange, so the dimensions in Figure 8-6. are correct.
