1.4 Installing the Robot
Rotate the robot outer arm before removing the shipping bolts from the pallet. This will help
prevent the robot from tipping over. Use two people to lift the robot. See the following figure.
Figure 1-2. Rotate Outer Arm, Remove Bolts, then Lift the Robot
Mounting the Robot
Mount the robot to a rigid surface that will prevent vibration and flexing during operation. We
recommend a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate, mounted to a rigid steel tube frame. See the following figure for the mounting hole dimensions.
