Chapter 4: System Installation The eAIB is grounded to the robot base through a conductive gasket. l Ground the end-effector to the robot base. NOTE: A ground strap from the end-effector to the base mounting pad must include a service loop that allows full rotation and movement of the tool flange. Grounding Robot Base to Frame NOTE: You must ground the robot to the frame for all installations. l Use any of the three M12 mounting screws for this connection. Each of the mounting points is labeled as a ground: Figure 4-9. Ground Label Screws must be stainless or zinc-plated steel. l Use an external-tooth star washer, touching the mounting screw head.
Washers must be stainless or zinc-plated steel. If the frame is painted where the M12 screw makes contact with it, use a ring terminal under the star washer, and connect the other end of the wire from the terminal to a suitable ground- ing surface on the frame. If the frame is not painted where the M12 screw makes contact with it, you do not need to use a ring terminal, just put an external-tooth star washer under the mounting screw head.
