The robot arm is mounted using four M8 bolts, using the four 8.5mm holes on the base. It is
recommended to tighten these bolts with 20N m torque. If very accurate repositioning of the
robot arm is desired, two Ø8 holes are provided for use with a pin. Also, an accurate base
counterpart can be purchased as an accessory. Figure6.1 shows where to drill holes and mount
the screws.
The robot connector cable can be mounted through the side or through the bottom of the base.
Mount the robot on a sturdy surface strong enough to withstand at least ten times the full torque
of the base joint and at least five times the weight of the robot arm. Furthermore the surface
shall be vibration free.
If the robot is mounted on a linear axis or a moving platform then the acceleration of the moving
mounting base shall be very low. A high acceleration might cause the robot to stop, thinking it
bumped into something.
WARNING
Power down the Robot Arm to prevent unexpected start-up during mounting and
dismounting.
To power down the Robot Arm:
1. Press the power button on the Teach Pendant to turn off the robot.
2. Unplug the mains cable / power cord form the wall socket.
3. Allow 30 seconds for the robot to discharge any stored energy.
CAUTION
Mount the robot in an environment suited to the IP rating. The robot must not be
operated in environments that exceed those corresponding to the IP ratings of the
robot (IP54), Teach Pendant (IP54) and Control Box (IP20)
