Chapter 2: Robot Installation

2.1 Transport and Storage

This equipment must be shipped and stored in a temperature-controlled environment, within the range –10 to +60 C (14 to 140 F). The recommended humidity range is 5 to 90 percent, noncondensing. It should be shipped and stored in the Adept-supplied packaging, which is designed to prevent damage from normal shock and vibration. You should protect the package from excessive shock and vibration.

The robots must always be stored and shipped in an upright position in a clean, dry area that is free from condensation. Do not lay the crate on its side or any other position: this could damage the robot.

2.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Adept Equipment

Before Unpacking

Carefully inspect all shipping crates for evidence of damage during transit. If any damage is indicated, request that the carrier’s agent be present at the time the container is unpacked.

Upon Unpacking

Before signing the carrier’s delivery sheet, please compare the actual items received (not just the packing slip) with your equipment purchase order and verify that all items are present and that the shipment is correct and free of visible damage.

If the items received do not match the packing slip, or are damaged, do not sign the receipt. Contact Adept as soon as possible.

If the items received do not match your order, please contact Adept immediately.

Inspect each item for external damage as it is removed from its container. If any damage is evident, contact Adept (see Section 1.9).

Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may be necessary to settle claims or, at a later date, to relocate equipment.

2.3 Repacking for Relocation

If the robot or other equipment needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation procedures that follow. Reuse all original packing containers and materials and follow all safety notes used for installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your warranty. Before unbolting the robot from the mounting surface, fold the outer arm against the Joint 2 hardstops to help centralize the center of gravity. The robot must always be shipped in an upright orientation. Specify this to the carrier if the robot is to be shipped.

Chapter 2: Robot Installation

Mounting Surface

The Adept Cobra s350 robot is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level surface. The mounting surface 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. Figure 2-2 shows the mounting hole pattern for the Adept Cobra s350 robot.

NOTE: On the under-side of the base there are two holes that can be used as locating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting surface. See Figure 2-2 for the hole dimension and location. Using locating pins can improve the ability to remove and reinstall the robot in the same position.

The Adept Cobra s350 robot can be mounted on a moving platform with proper attention paid to adequately supporting the robot cabling. The motor/encoder cable connecting the robot to the MB-40R/eMB-40R is not designed to withstand repeated bending operations and has a minimum recommended bend radius of 200 mm. The connectors on this cable are not designed to support any dynamic forces and Adept always advises users to support the weight of the cable with external supports and tie-downs. Any additional user cabling should be installed with user-designed cabling supports that do not use these motor/encoder connectors as attachment points for auxiliary cabling.

Robot Mounting Procedure

1.Using the dimensions shown in Figure 2-2, drill and tap the mounting surface for four M10 x 30 mm (or 3/8-16 UNC) machine bolts (user-supplied). Also drill two 6H7 diameter holes for a diamond-shaped dowel pin and an internally-threaded positioning pin. See Table 2-2 for bolt and torque specifications.

WARNING: 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.

2.Install a diamond-shaped pin into one of the 6H7 diameter holes.

3.Install an internally-threaded positioning pin into the other 6H7 hole.

4.Turn the J2 axis until it comes into contact with the mechanical hardstop to keep the robot in a safe position.

PALLET

Figure 2-3. Rotate J2 Axis to Safe Position

5.Remove the four bolts securing the robot base to the pallet. One person should support the J1 axis arm while another person removes the bolts. Retain these bolts for possible later relocation of the equipment.

6.Lift the robot and position it directly over the mounting surface.

7.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. Verify that the robot is mounted squarely (will not rock back and forth) before tightening the mounting bolts.

Adept Cobra s350 User's Guide, Rev. D

Page 20 of 94

Chapter 2: Robot Installation

8.Install the user-supplied mounting bolts and washers. Tighten bolts to the torque specified in Table 2-2.

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 Periodic Maintenance Schedule on page 67 for periodic maintenance.

Chapter 3: System Cable Installation

NOTE: The 24 VDC cable is not supplied with the system, but is available in the optional Power Cable kit. See Table 3-1.

Procedure for Creating 24 VDC Cable

1.Locate the connector and pins from Table 3-4.

2.Use shielded two-conductor cable with 14-16 AWG wire to create the 24 VDC cable. Select the wire length to safely reach from the user-supplied 24 VDC power supply to the MB-40R/eMB-40R base.

You also must create a separate 24 VDC cable for the SmartController. That cable uses a different style of connector. See the Adept SmartController EX User's Guide or

Adept SmartController User's Guide.

3.Crimp the pins onto the wires using the crimping tool recommended in Table 3-4.

4.Insert the pins into the connector. Confirm that the +24 V and Ground wires are in the correct terminals in the plug.

5.Install a user-supplied ring lug (for an M3 screw) on the shield at the MB-40R/eMB-40R end of the cable.

6.Prepare the opposite end of the cable for connection to the user-supplied 24 VDC power supply, including a terminal to attach the cable shield to frame ground.

Installing the 24 VDC Cable

Do not turn on the 24 VDC power until instructed to do so in the next chapter.

1.Connect one end of the shielded 24 VDC cable to your user-supplied 24 VDC power supply. See Figure 3-2. The cable shield should be connected to frame ground on the power supply. Do not turn on the 24 VDC power until instructed to do so in System Operation on page 51.

2.Plug the mating connector end of the 24 VDC cable into the 24 VDC connector on the interface panel on the back of the MB-40R/eMB-40R. The cable shield should be connected to the ground point on the interface panel.
