Manual Notation
This manual uses a standard notation system to provide consistent descriptions of all
items and functions associated with all Brooks Automation devices. These standards
include; hardware notation, software notation, document numbering, and descriptive
warnings. These notation standards identify tasks to be performed by the user during
a service, installation, or operation procedure, or as a specific input to the robot.
Hardware Notation
The hardware notation system includes identification of dimensioning conventions
and naming conventions. This notation system is used when describing hardware to
simplify descriptions of user actions and robot responses. The notation system
includes the following typographical and presentation conventions.
Dimensions
Dimensions are shown in metric and English units, with the metric dimension
first and the English dimension in parentheses. This order of presentation is
used because metric dimensions are a more universal dimensioning standard:
this order is not meant to imply that the metric dimension should be consid-
ered the primary dimension.
Ex.
175.0 mm (6.89 in)
79.38 mm (3.125 in)
NOTE:
Drawings and sketches contained within this manual are not drawn to
scale.
Naming Conventions
All hardware names follow industry standard naming conventions. These
naming conventions include all electrical cabling and identification of mount-
ing hardware.
Ex.
J15 = Jack (female side of connection)
P3 = Plug (male side of connection)
Ex.
SST
= Stainless Steel
SHCS = Socket Head Cap Screw
