3.2 Mounting
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.
DANGER:
Make sure the robot arm is properly and securely bolted in place. The
mounting surface shall be sturdy.
CAUTION:
If the robot is bathed in water over an extended time period it might
be damaged. The robot should not be mounted in water or in a wet
environment.
Tool The robot tool flange has four M6 thread holes for attaching a tool to the robot.
The holes need to be tightened with 9 N m. If very accurate repositioning of the tool
is desired, the Ø6 hole is provided for use with a pin. Figure 3.2 shows where to drill
holes and mount the screws.
DANGER:
1. Make sure the tool is properly and securely bolted in place.
2. Make sure that the tool is constructed such that it cannot create
a hazardous situation by dropping a part unexpectedly.
Control Box The control box can be hung on a wall, or it can be placed on the
ground. A clearance of 50 mm on each side is needed for sufficient airflow. Extra
brackets for mounting can be bought.
Teach Pendant The teach pendant can be hung on a wall or on the control box. Extra
brackets for mounting the teach pendant can be bought. Make sure that no one can
trip over the cable.
