Installation

Before starting installation of the Graco 3D gun, refer to 
the 

Description

 on page and 

Component Identifica-

tion

 on page 6, in order to be familiar with the various 

parts of the applicator.

To ensure a trouble free operation of the applicator, it is 
very important that the unit is properly installed on the 
robot. It is also very important that the function of the 
applicator is carefully checked before start up.

Graco recommends using the tools supplied in kit 
17V859 (sold separately) for convenience and correct 
fit.

Typical Applicator Installation

The following parts are normally required:

1 pc. Graco 3D gun with nozzle head and nozzle 
cap.

1 pc. Robot mounting flange.

1 pc. Swivel locking bracket.

1 pc. Cable with 18-pin connector (other configura-
tions possible).

6 pcs. M6x16 mm hex socket head screws with 
extra low head.

2 pc. Guide pin Ø 6 mm 

3 pcs. M6x20 mm hex socket head screws.

4 pcs. M5x14 hex socket head screws.

Begin the installation by mounting the mounting flange 
(see page 13) on the sixth axis of the robot using the six 
M6x16 screws with extra low heads. When the flange is 
fixed on the robot, the applicator is attached to the 
flange with the three M6x20 screws. It is important to 
check that the guide pins are inserted in the right posi-
tions.

When the applicator is mounted to the robot, the swivel 
locking bracket (two options are available) must be 
attached to the connection housing and to the fixation 
point on the robot using the two M5X14 hex head 
screws.

The swivel locking bracket option used depends on how 
the applicator is attached to the robot arm. Use the first 
option when routing the cable from the top, and use the 
second option when routing the cable from the bottom.

Standard parts fitting the ABB swivel locking bracket are 
available, and other non-standard parts can be made 
available upon request.

To avoid personal injury, be especially careful when 
connecting the high pressure material supply system 
and always keep clear of the nozzles when test spray-
ing.
