10.6 Accessing the Payload Bay
The payload bay is the area between the platform top plate and the top of the platform itself.
Care must be taken, when accessing the payload bay, that the wires and connections between
the platform and the HMI post and coupling plate are not damaged. See Top View of an LD
Platform Cart Transporter, Side Laser Support Tubes Removed on page 146.
The top plate is held on with eight M6 socket-head screws and two M5 cap screws. You
should not remove the HMI post base. The sheet metal cover of the Latching Mechanism
needs to be removed to access the two M5 screws. The top plate and the rest of the coupling
plate will come off together.
!
CAUTION:
PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK
When lifting the top plate off, take extra care not to scratch the coupling laser’s
lens with the top plate itself.
