Chapter 2: Robot Installation
Robot Mounting Procedure
1.
Using the dimensions shown in the previous figure, drill and tap the mounting surface
for four M12 - 1.75 x 36 mm (or 7/16 - 14 UNC x 1.50 in.) machine bolts (bolts are user-
supplied).
2.
While the robot is still bolted to the transportation pallet, connect the hydraulic lift to
the eyebolt at the top of the inner link (see Figure 2-1). Take up any slack, but do not lift
the robot at this time.
WARNING:Do not attempt to lift the robot at any points
other than the eyebolt provided. Do not attempt to extend
the inner or outer links of the robot until the robot has
been secured in position. Failure to comply could result
in the robot falling and causing either personnel injury or
equipment damage.
3.
Remove the four bolts securing the robot base to the pallet.
Retain these bolts for possible later relocation of the equipment.
4.
Lift the robot and position it directly over the mounting surface.
5.
Slowly lower the robot while aligning the base and the tapped mounting holes in the
mounting surface.
NOTE:The base casting of the robot is aluminum and can easily be dented if
bumped against a harder surface.
6.
Verify that the robot is mounted squarely (can not rock back and forth) before tightening
the mounting bolts.
7.
Install the user-supplied mounting bolts and washers. Tighten bolts to the torque
specified in the following table.
WARNING:The center of mass of the robot may cause
the robot to fall over if the robot is not secured with the
mounting bolts.
NOTE:Check the tightness of the mounting bolts one week after initial installation,
and then recheck every 6 months. See Maintenance on page 53 for periodic
maintenance.
