2.5 Mounting the Robot
WARNING: Only qualified service personnel may install
or service the robot system.
Mounting Surface
The Adept Cobra ePLC600/800 robots are designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level
tabletop. The mounting structure must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during
robot operation. Adept recommends a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate mounted to a rigid tube
frame. Excessive vibration or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance. The following
figure shows the mounting hole pattern for the Adept Cobra ePLC600/800 robots.
NOTE:On the under-side of the base are a hole and a slot that can be used as
locating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting surface. See the
following figure. Using locating pins can improve the ability to remove and
reinstall the robot in the same position.
