Chapter 2: Robot Installation 3 mm 10 - 15 mm Figure 2-11. Short 3 mm Hex Key NOTE : The platform and the J4 motor will have to be aligned after the ACE software is installed and the robot is power-on. See Aligning the Platform and J4 Motor on page 78. 2.8 End-Effectors You are responsible for providing and installing any end-effector or other tooling, as well as vacuum lines and wiring to the end-effector. See the drawing Tool Flange Dimensions, Both Platforms on page 124 for dimensions of the tool flange. Attaching an End-Effector You can attach end-effectors to the tool flange using either four M6 x 1.0 screws, or a ring clamp. Hardware for both methods is supplied in the accessories kit.
NOTE: The combined weight of the end-effector and the payload must not exceed the maximum rated payload. Aligning an End-Effector A 6 mm diameter x 12 mm dowel pin (user-supplied) fits in a hole in the tool flange and can be used as a keying or anti-rotation device in a user-designed end-effector. Grounding If hazardous voltages are present at the end-effector, you must install a ground connection to the end-effector. See Grounding Robot-Mounted Equipment on page 52. Accessing Vacuum The hole through the center of the tool flange has been made as large as possible to allow vacuum and/or electric lines to pass through. WARNING: Do not tap the tool flange, as this would weaken it.
