Chapter 3: Robot Installation Mounting Pad Lifting Slots Figure 3-3. Two of Six Lifting Slots 3. Take up any slack in the straps. The mechanism you use for lifting the straps will be dependent on the frame design, so it is not specified here. 4. Slowly lift the robot base up, keeping the holes in the robot base pads and the frame pads aligned, until the top surfaces of the robot base pads are touching the bottom sur- faces of the frame mounting pads. 5. Follow the instructions in Install Mounting Hardware that follow. Install Mounting Hardware Because of the possible variability of the mounting frames, mounting hardware is user-sup- plied.
The bolts need to be M12-1.75, either stainless steel or zinc-plated steel. The threads must engage 24 mm (0.94 in.) of the robot base threads (Heli-Coil), for sufficient support. When mounting the robot, note the following: l Verify that the robot is mounted squarely before tightening the mounting bolts. l Insert the bolts through the holes in the frame and into the threaded holes in the robot base mounting pads. l Ground the robot base to the mounting frame. Refer to Grounding Robot Base to Frame on page 54. l Tighten the bolts to 61 N·m (45 ft-lb). NOTE: The robot base-mounting tabs have spring-lock Heli-Coils in the M12 holes, so lock washers are not needed on the M12 mounting bolts.
